Do you want to have a textual list of current Xrefs used in your drawing?

Use the RTEXT command (Express Tools) and enter the Diesel expression: 

  
List of Xrefs:
$(xrefs,3)
or (with nesting and text prefix, no path): 
  
$(xrefs,27,Attached xref: )
or (all names in a single line): 
$(xrefs,2,,; )
When you attach or detach a Xref - just regen your drawing to update the list. See also Image list.
