Translating Cross-references from Frame to xml

["Mitchell, Sue" <Sue.Mitchell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In the Structure Dev Guide it says that the default translation of an
'external' cross-reference is to export the cross reference as text:

If the cross-reference source is external to the file when exporting a
single file or external
to the book when exporting a book, then FrameMaker exports the
cross-reference as text.

I don't understand why this is so. If we are using Frame as our XML editor
this means that we need to import and export the whole book each time we
want to edit one file if we have any cross references between chapters and
don't want to lose them. Is there a simple way of over-riding this feature?
Or do I have to use the API?
