Multiple Xref pointers from a single location

Xref can be used to reference one location from another. However, I would
like to be able to reference multiple destinations from a single "hot-spot"
location in the document. How can this be achieved? Here is an example:
Book content:
"The drug apoxilin is available from XYZ, Inc."
During rendering, when the user clicks "apoxilin", a pop up will display the
following three links, related to the drug:
adverse reactions
generics
dosage
When the user clicks on one of these links, the appropriate section is
displayed.
How can the book be encoded using the docbook sgml/xml tags so that the
rendering software can automatically do what we need, without any coding?
