I have a document with a lot of tables. For each table, I have references
which I would like to tie to the table number. The problem I have now is that
if I add a new table then all the table numbers increment, but my references
stay the same. Is there a way to tie them together so that they
increment/decrement together?

For example:

The message shall be set according to Table 3. (This is my reference in the
text)
......

Table 3: Message Content (This is my actual table.)
