And how do you want to be this range presented to the user?

As you discovered earlier, there is no such markup in DocBook V4. In 
DocBook V5 you can use XLink and combine it with XPointer to capture 
range. But there are no tools that support this:

<xref xlink:href="#xpointer(id('chap1')/range-to(id('chap3')))"/>

I got impression that you already know that there is no way how to 
markup this in DocBook, and you are looking for ways how to come around 
this limitation.
