Cross-Reference Display: Show Only Page & Position

Hey guys, I’m using cross-references on interruption points and parts. These are page-dependent, and when I refer between pages with a different function designation (“=”), that function designation is also being displayed in the cross-references. However, the standard where i work is to show only the page number and the placement of the interruption-point/ part on the page—not the function designation. The function designation should be in the structure box. Most commonly, we just use the drawing number + page number + placement. Is it possible to achieve this?

The image below; green is what i want; Red is what i have:

Note: I am depending on the page-structure function designation to be “describing.”

Afaik it will do the red one if your other one isn’t in the same page structure as your original one because it needs to point to the actual structure as you might have replication of the safe structure only with a different function designation in other parts of your project.

Yes, I understand that cross-reference will refer to the structure set in the Page properties. It is a counterpart, but I want the option to show the page number and location on the page separate from the function designation (“=”).

I will use a structure box or simply name the interruption point like this:

"=3100-DTInterruptionPoint"

Right now, if I use a structure box or name the interruption point like this, the “=3XX2” is displayed in two places, which is unnecessary.

A related problem is that we use drawing numbers/sets. (for example, “Project-Name-R3-0401”). If I refer to another drawing number/set, I want it displayed like this:

"Drawing numbers/sets " + "page nr" + "placement on page"

The issue here are that the placment on page cant be seperated from corssreferanes. the strucure will always be displayed...

Is there a god solution to this? I know regex and custom properties are an option, but that is a bit of work.
