Telling the human reading the book where to find some other information is so 19th Century ...

When listing a reference point in the same book you should use a hyperlink to a target at the other location. The text doesn't need to be overly specific (e.g. "as discussed in Chapter 12") since the link and anchor pair will target the exact location. The human shouldn't have to do the work of searching for the referenced page.
