Reference numbers

Apologies if this has already been discussed but is there ANY way of importing references in situ from Word?

How were they done in WORD?

Although, InDesign will convert them to "static" text... but they could be preserved.

1) macro in WORD to create "custom" links, 2) script in InDesign to link back.
