To make a link to an object, for example a picture, one can use cross-references
or hyperlinks. 
To make a cross-reference to an object, you follow this procedure:

To set the target:
-Right click on object --> Caption
-Enter the text for the Caption

To set the cross-reference:
-Menu -->insert cross-reference
-select the object.

This way, the target you cross-reference is the caption "number" and not the
object itself.
An obvious disadvantage is that when referencing large objects, such as large
tables, following the link gets you to the bottom of the object, not the
beginning (assuming that the caption is positioned below the object).
In my opinion, when following the link, the object should be positioned on top
of the screen.

(It becomes really annoying when exporting to PDF on pre 2.0 versions. When
following the cross-reference, you end up with the caption in the first line and
miss the object!)

The solution of using hyperlinks, which point to the object, cannot offer the
automatic field updating.

A partial solution:
One could create a hyperlink on a cross-reference. When following this link by
single-clicking, you target the caption. Following it by right-click-->open
hyperlink, you target the object.
