Yes indeed.  I wanted to use the location information provided by
refstyle, and varioref.  By using \secref or \vpageref I would get
references like: section §3, on page 5, etc.

Okay I see it now, in your last email I got a bit confused, but now I
follow.  With your solution I use both label and reference using LaTeX,
bypassing Org.  Of course this leaves me with links not working inside
Org.  I was eventually going to use filters to transform the ref
commands to the alternate ones from refstyle and varioref to get both
LaTeX and Org side working as I wanted.  Something like this:

  <<sec:interesting>>

  [[sec:interesting]]

Then transform \ref{sec:interesting} → \secref{sec:interesting} with a
filter; that way I would have my cake and eat it too!  I see your point
though.

Thanks a lot for the comments.  :)

Cheers,
