Okay, the use case has a clear relevance (thanks for the elaboration).

The cross-reference seems to be inserted as bookmarks and any text (here
"above" replaced with "previous") is going to be replaced with before/after,
depending on the text language.

   <text:h text:style-name="P5" text:outline-level="1"><text:bookmark-start
text:name="__RefHeading___Toc395_2509047920"/>Test<text:bookmark-end
text:name="__RefHeading___Toc395_2509047920"/></text:h>
   <text:p text:style-name="P16"><text:bookmark-ref
text:reference-format="direction"
text:ref-name="__RefHeading___Toc395_2509047920">previous</text:bookmark-ref></text:p>

If I read all this correctly, using Above/Below fails because of localization. 

Miklos, would it be possible to introduce an additional
text:reference-format="static_direction" with user-defined labels for the
text:ref-name that wont be replaced one language changes?

William, do you think a second reference type Previous/After (in addition to
Below/Above) solves the use case?
