Default Captions to match Headings (not using Heading 1 style)

I have a document using heading 1 as Chapter 1, Chapter 2, then Chapter 2a,
Chapter 2b, Chapter 2c, then Chapter 3, Chapter 4, etc. I used a different
style for the chapters numbered 2a - 2c in order to be able to reflect the
subs, but within the Chapter 2 subs, I have tables and figures (Table 2a-1,
Table 2a-2, and Figure 2a-1, Figure 2a-2). How can I get my captions to auto
number according to my chapter 2 subsections? Thus far, I'm having to do them
manually and there are tons of them...so, this is not how I'd like to
continue to do these. Thank you!

It is not possible to switch the Style that includes the chapter number in
the Caption Numbering dialog. The same Style must be used for each caption
label in the document.

That is they must all be of the form of Table 1-1, Table 2-1

But you can mix across different label types Table 2-1, Figure 2a-1
