\ref, make figure/table reference automatically toggle between "above" or "below"

Question

Is it possible to automatically include a reference to the position of a labeled object (Table, Figure) in text? By this I mean the following:

Say I have labeled a figure in chapter 1:

\label{fig:one}

Then I refer to it in text by using:

See Figure~\ref{fig:one}

Which produces "See Figure 1.1" as desired. I'd like to be able to have it produce: "See Figure 1.1, above" or "See Figure 1.1, below", automatically detecting whether to produce "above" or "below" depending on whether the figure will be placed above that position on the final page.

Answer 1

The varioref package is intended just for similar things. Its command \vref adds suitable words to the number, depending on the context. For example, in twosided printing, it might resolve a reference see Figure~\vref{x} to

see Figure 1.1 on the facing pages

if this is the case. It's very customizable and provides support for different languages than English.
