How to automatically insert page numbers to hyperlink destination text anchors in Adobe InDesign?

Question

I'm using Adobe InDesign to make a PDF that will have links to pages within itself (e.g. a text on page 10 links to the text on page 32).

I'm using "New Hyperlink Destination" to create Text Anchors (so, for example, a text anchor "Footnote" on page 32). Then I link to this Text Anchor from the text on page 10 using Interactive -> New Hyperlink -> Text Anchor.

This all works fine, However, how I do make InDesign automatically insert page numbers for the appropriate Text Anchors? For instance, if Text Anchor "Footnote" changes its location from page 32 to page 40, how would I make InDesign reflect this change automatically and put in the appropriate page number? Is that at all possible actually?
