Maybe I missed something earlier. Did you define a character style that
applies the formatting you want (blue and underline, or whatever) and
apply that style to the field?
It's the same process you use in FM for hyperlinks. (FM has the
advantage in cross-references because you can include the character tag
in the x-ref format definition instead of adding it manually.)
