Word: how to find `_Refxxxxxxxxx` codes for manual cross-referencing?

When I use the Cross-reference dialog for figure and table cross-references, Word creates a new field with a reference number, e.g.:
{ REF _Ref530727267 h }
How can I get the _Refxxxxxxxxx codes for the captions of my existing figures and tables? I want to insert the cross-reference fields manually, because the Cross-reference dialog is buggy and slow.

I found the answer here:
https://wordaddins.com/support/cross-reference-fields-in-word/
Ctrl+Shift+F5 opens the Bookmark dialog, and this will show all _Refxxxxxxxxx codes, if "Hidden bookmarks" is checked.
Edit:
It is slightly trickier than I first thought. The _Refxxxxxxxxx bookmarks are not created when you add a caption; they are generated by the Cross-reference dialog. Here are the steps to create a new bookmark:
- Select the caption text you want in the cross-reference, e.g.
Figure 42. - Open the Bookmark dialog with Ctrl+Shift+F5.
- Type a new bookmark name, e.g.
fig_dolphin, and click "Add".
Not trivial I admit, but I really hate that cross-reference dialog.
