refcount

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.
