Both tables have REF fields for the cross-references.

The cross-reference fields there can be hyperlinks. They are linking to the numbered paragraphs. The fields in my document are hyperlinks. That is the default setting when inserting a cross-reference using the References tab.

Like all cross-reference fields, they do NOT update automatically when the source changes. They need to be updated, at which time the information in them will refresh.
