And how do you cross-reference this field?

You are getting me onboard - but still no cigar :-)

Seriously, you define a use case that needs to be solved, not a solution that
we have to implement. UX should verify the use case, ensure it's generic,
without impact on other workflows, and eventually suggesting the UI/UX part of
implementation.

Technically we are limited by the format. ODF 1.2 defines

7.4.13 <text:sequence>
The <text:sequence> element has the following attributes: style:num-format

19.500 style:num-format
The values of the style:num-format attribute are 1, i, I, a value of type
string 18.2, an empty string, a or A.

19.503 style:num-suffix
The style:num-prefix and style:num-suffix attributes specify what to display
before and after the number.

I read this as if we can access the style:num-format in a text:sequence but not
the style:num-suffix. It requires a change to the file format (that needs to be
implemented in all applications - and all other formats too).
