Two thoughts:

1. Assuming my suggestion for dedicated links to be typeset as page number
references, one  partly achieve this by multiple links.

e.g.

------------------------------------------------

See Section [[*Tropical Storms]], page [[tropstorms]].

* Tropical Storms

Bla bla bla...

<<tropstorms>> Bla bla bla..

--------------------------------------------------

2. Maybe, instead of trying to make simple cross-reference links do
everything for everyone, it would be better to think in terms of
creating several link types?

e.g. something like

See Section [[*Tropical Storms]], [[textref:*Tropical Storms]],
[[pageref:tropstorms]].
