In fact Frame Maker will allow figures, tables and sections etc. to be 
autonumbered in your favorite style (multilevel, alphabetical, prefixes ...)
Cross-references can be titles (text), their auto-numbers, current page-number
or the section in which they occur, and they will be maintained and updated
within and *between* documents (such as chapters of a book). The updating
of the numbers happens immediately or at the very least when redisplaying 
the page - there is no need for it to happen at print time.

As for the hot links:
Yes, on Suns other programs do use RPC calls.
But you can use the interface even for your own programs.
