refcount
refcount package for LaTeX
References are not numbers, however they often store numerical data such as section or page numbers. ref or pageref cannot be used for counter assignments or calculations because they are not expandable, generate warnings, or can even be links. The package provides expandable macros to extract the data from references. Packages hyperref, nameref, titleref, and babel are supported.

refcount – Counter operations with label references
Provides commands \setcounterref and \addtocounterref which use the section (or whatever) number from the reference as the value to put into the counter, as in:
...\label{sec:foo}
...
\setcounterref{foonum}{sec:foo}
Commands \setcounterpageref and
\addtocounterpageref do the corresponding thing with the
page reference of the label.
No .ins file is distributed; process the .dtx with plain TeX to create one.
