I use fancyref with the default prefixes (chap:, fig: and so on). I'm not entirely happy with the way the references are generated when the referenced object is on a different page. For tables and figures, the package generates something like Abbildung 42 auf Seite 84 (figure 42 on page 84), which is acceptable. When referring to an entire chapter, the package uses the same text (Kapitel 4 auf Seite 50). In my opinion, that isn't entirely correct — the chapter is not placed on page 50, it starts on page 50 and may stretch across any number of pages. I'd rather like the \fref{} command to use a different text when referring to chapters and parts, like Kapitel 4 ab Seite 50. At the same time, the references to figures and tables should not change. Is this possible?
