No solution appeared from the net, so I was reduced to cheating. I wrote
the information to a .aux file, and read the file to typset the marginal
notes. It works, but I don't think that it is exactly elegant; besides,
it defines a macro for every marginal reference which can't be a good
idea. If you want the macros I could be convinced to part with them.
