 What you use is not really important as long as you use the new
commands and they will be defined in such a way that they use the
\label and \ref commands.  <- Great sentence.  Do you really want to
bold the references?  You will visually overload the page.  For
proof-reading this may be ok, but the end version should use \emph.

 \newcommand{\featurelabel}[1]{\marginpar{\framebox{feat:#1}}\label{feat:#1}}
was my initial idea. and kill \visiblelabel.  Lists should be no
problem, table is...so I had a look around and my friend Markus Kohm
has a solution:

\usepackage{marginnote} % written by Markus Kohm and available in
			% TeXLive

\newcommand{\featurelabel}[1]{\marginnote{\framebox{feat:#1}}\label{feat:#1}}
