Yes (though with lowercase  'ref' as Christian has already pointed out.)  What 
this doesn't add which the bookmarklets do is the ability to highlight a bit of 
text which is an element/attribute/className and then click the bookmarklet to 
be taken straight there with no typing.  Since the bookmarklets are just a 
javascript bookmark, maybe they could be combined and given a keyword.

I'll add your instructions to that page of mine sometime today though to show an 
alternative way to do it.

I've considered writing a greasemonkey script which would then turn any mention 
of a recognised TEI element/attribute/class into a link to its reference page if 
on some user-customisable wildcard set of URLs.
