    Exactly for that reason, I need to make a link to them, i.e.:

<screenshot xml:id="some-screen" xreflabel="Nice screen">
        <mediaobject>
          <imageobject>
            <imagedata fileref="screen.png" />
          </imageobject>
        </mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>Look at the <xref linkend="some-screen" /> to see it's awesomeness.</para>
