Is there a way to cross reference a range of page numbers or the whole story, not just one page? My editor wants to reference the whole story, like "see pages 4-6", not just "see page 4". Is there a way to do that in the latest Publisher 2.5.7?

You can do this by combining two cross-references separated by a dash or en-dash. The first cross-reference could be to the story's title and the second could be to an anchor that you insert at the end of the story.

Yes that's how I did it, but it seemed hacky and thought there should be a better way to do it. Also the generated bookmark would be possibly confusing, when clicking on the page number range (4-6), and being sent at the last page of the story.

Ideally the range should always point to the start of the story, but still change automatically when I decide to reshuffle the pages around.

It will point to the start of the story as long as you target the first heading in the story. Or you could insert an anchor at the start of the story and target that.

I think the point is that if you have two cross-references like this: p.34-41, clicking on 34 will bring you to the beginning of the section, as wanted, but if you click on at the end of the reference (41), you'll be brought to its end.
(For me, it's more a bonus than a flaw but each one's mileage can vary…)

I can't test now but it's perhaps possible to modify the hyperlink target for the last reference?

I apologise for any approximations in my English. It is not my mother tongue.

I think the only way to link the entire 34-41 to the same page would be to not hyperlink the second cross-reference from within the cross-reference dialog and to instead hyperlink it manually to an anchor at the start of the story.
