Please share the existing macros. Others may find it useful or get
inspiration from it.

If you are interested in ODT export and find something missing, I would
be happy to implement.
The exporter currently doesn't print table of figures etc. It is
something that I hope to flesh out. Btw, the exporter already
categorises Math formula (meaning png images or MathML snippets
converted from Latex math snipppets) in to it's own sequence counter.
So I believe we can conjure up a way to enumerate the cases separately.

Assuming that the cases are introduced in a paragraph you can attach a
label and caption to a paragraph and link to the NAME with the usual
"reference" link. (This is possible with the new exporter.)
#+CAPTION: A Non-sensical case
#+NAME: case:dismissed
This paragraph describes HowellvCoupland.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Another alternative would be to introduce the title of the case as a
paragraph of its own and styled separately and then link to the
paragraph.
#+ATTR_ODT: :style "Cases"
A Non-sensical case
This paragraph describes HowellvCoupland.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The difference between the two is this: In the second case, the name of
the case goes right in to document content rather than as a paragraph
caption.
In ODT, it is possible to "collect" paragraphs that have a given style
in to an index of it's own.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I am writing from memory and you know better than to repose trust on
someone you have never met.
