As pointed out by Rasmus in this thread, there is a cross-reference
mechanism in the export framework.

1. <<something>> Item 1.
2. Reference to item [[something]].

It will work in any back-end, but obviously, will ignore alphabetical
lists (link will always appear as a number).

Speaking of those, my opinion is we should drop them altogether, as they
are just (dubious) syntactic sugar, but some users will always expect
them to be more than that.
