Default Auto-insert numbering when caption style applied

When I define my own caption style with an outline numbered list, I can't
insert a reference in the numbered list to a heading: I want "Figure 1-2.",
where the "1" refers to the current Heading 1. I can only get "Figure 2." I
like to do it this way because I can just type my caption, then apply my
caption style, and it will add the "Figure 2." automatically. Also, I can't
use the built in "Caption" style, because I want to do the same thing with
tables.

I can get the "1" by inserting a caption (InsertCaption), but then my style
doesn't "keep" the label associated with it. For instance, if I apply my
caption style, it will just change the style, it won't insert the auto text
and numbering.

This seems like a common thing one would want to do. Can you help?

Thanks!
