Even if so, as a general solution it's not very elegant. At least the title+text approach works for existing documents and software without requiring the user to find a program that does tricks. For many references you can use the section title to narrow it down a great deal, and ideally they'll use hierarchical numbering to make even more compact, but for the general case we still something.
