Default I need a way to keep multiple auto-numbered headers and refer to them in text

I'm working on a document that needs multiple headers are autonumbered. And I would like to be able to go back and insert and have all the same headings update when I do so, and I'd like to be able to reference these numbers within the text.

It is a mathematics document, so for example I will have three definitions, one exercise, another definition, two Figures and another exercise. So it would look like

Definition 1
Definition 2
Definition 3
Exercise 1
Definition 4
Figure 1
Figure 2
Exercise 2

Then I'd like to be able to refer to the different Figures by number within the text, and ideally should I chose to delete or add a figure, all numbers would update including the references within the text.

You'll need to create a caption label for each type of caption, then use
Insert | Caption to insert them. Cross-references to defined captions
(through Insert | Cross-reference) are simple.
