Default Is there a workaround/kludge for cross referencing text that contains spaces and/or special characters?

A bookmark is just a name, and it's a name that isn't necessarily seen by
the user; it doesn't have to replicate the bookmarked text but can be a
title or summary of it. If the point of the cross-reference is to be a link,
then why not insert a hyperlink to the bookmark? The hyperlink's display
text can be anything you like.

I know that I can add a bookmark and then add a cross reference to
that bookmark. However, if a bookmark cannot contain spaces or certain
characters, then the cross reference to it is essentially useless.

Are there workarounds?

How do you effectively cross reference the text of an unnumbered
paragraph or heading without doing_this_to_the_designated_paragraph
OrTakingThisLovelyApproach or trying_something_retro_like_this?

There must be a workaround for this...? How do people manage large
documents where they must link to things like hyphenated or multi-word
definitions or citations that contain a word--the author's name, say--
and the publication year?

I'm using Word 2007, but I have access to Word 2010 in case there is a
more accessible workaround available in that version.
