How to make a custom @Thing cooperate with @TitleOf in a book?

[Mark Summerfield]

Hi,

I have these two definitions:

def @XRef right address@hidden
    address@hidden@Case {
        ""   @Yield {(page @PageOf{tag})}
        "??"   @Yield {(page @PageOf{tag})}
        else @Yield address@hidden'' (page @PageOf{tag})}
    }
}}

def @Function
    named tag {""}
    named return {""}
    named name {}
    named args {""}
{ # TODO format it nicely
+1p @Font @C{
    return @Case{"" @address@hidden else @Yield{return~}} &0c
    @B{name}(args)
}
{tag @Case{"" @address@hidden else @Yield @PageMark{tag}}}
}

The @Function is used like this:

@LD @Function tag{findObject.function}
    return{Object}name{findObject}
    args{objectName}

Now I want to be able to write:

    See @XRef{findObject.function}.

And have it come out as:

    See ``findObject'' (page 99).

But I don't know how to do this.

Also, I would like be to be able to make @XRef smart enough to format
functions specially by matching the end of the tag (i.e.,
".function")---is that possible?

Thanks!
