STX does references just fine. Here is a test I just did:

Test paragraph

  This is a paragraph about some nice items, which has a reference[1] in it
  as well.  Now we make sure that it is a multi line paragraph. The
  reference will be pointing to a line below.

  .. [1] http://www.zope.org

  Another paragraph is here. Again, we include some references[2]. Make sure
  this is more than one line[2].

  .. [2] http://www.zope.com

  .. [3] http://www.python.org

References

  .. [1] http://www.zope.org

  .. [2] http://www.zope.com

  .. [3] http://www.python.org


All [x] links are correctly wrapped in <a href="#refx"> pointers, and all ..
[x] enpoints get a <a name="refx"> target. The above example has dublicate
targets, but it still renders correctly. The second set of targets just
isn't accessible, masked by the first. Just drop that section or the earlier
intra-parapgrah references altogether and we have a fine format.
