Yes.  If you are referring to a figure, put an 'id' attribute on the
figure element, and then refer to the figure elsewhere with an 'xref'
element.  So you would do something like this:

  <figure id="fig.foo">
    <mediaobject>
      ...
    </mediaobject>
  </figure>

  ...

  <para>For blah foo see <xref linkend="fig.foo"/>.</para>

If you want the 'xref' to expand into "Figure n", for some value of n,
add the attribute 'xrefstyle="select: label"' to that 'xref'.
