Sigh. No.
You can paste autotexts into object text parameters, but they become dumb text.
Now you've done it. Along with universal cleanup, universal referencing for real already is my top personal wish.
You can use this nasty workaround to get autotext codes in 9. This way you can get (cumbersome) universal referencing for use in text blocks and object text fields. In 9, it works in the IS too, because schedules are objects. In 10 they have made changes to autotext that make this workaround even nastier, which blows my mind.
In 10, to get the bracketed gibberish, you have to save the autotext
The only pseudo-VB way to do it that I can see: Hard-number the jamb details, independent of other drawing numbering. That is, you can have a live link as long as it's actually dead. But it's really not cool when an AC workaround starts messing with the actual sheets.
Otherwise, we can ask the guys who made the schedule. What did you envision going in those fields? Static, manual numbers? Serious question.
The new schedules make universal referencing a must-have issue for 11.

Gotta ask since it is 5 years later. 
Is there a new solution to this? I was really hoping to link my details to the schedule. Or are we stuck with the manual or the paper space over schedule pseudo automatic options?

since i began exploring options I realized there's also the rock and chisel option 
Still looking?
