I need \crefrangelabelformat to be without parentheses, so I can type 1‒3 when in an "already between parentheses" context, as in (for this issue, see 1–3 and following examples).
But then, I do not know how to refer to (1–3) using the more common style (1)–(3).
I include just in case all the coding for reference to ranges of subexamples, because I don't want anything to mess with that. See the MWE.

\creflabelformat{ExNo}{#2#1#3}
% The output of the \cref command for the main level doesn't include parentheses. I could write (#2#1#3) but then I wouldn't know how to get an output without parentheses.

\crefrangelabelformat{ExNo}{#3#1#4–#5#2#6}

\noindent As seen in \prefrange{manner}{object} (cf. \crefrange{manner}{object}), ranges work well \textit{with and without parentheses}.

However :
I want to get (1)–(3), but I can only get \crefrange{ex1}{ex3} or \prefrange{ex1}{ex3}.
