[Orgmode] numbered figures and tables?

[Stefan Vollmar]

Hello,

org-mode has a powerful capability to support the creation of  
footnotes. We are currently working on software documentation using  
org-mode and find that some similar features to support numbering of  
figures would be very useful, maybe something like this in analogy to  
footnotes:

[fig:name: a definition]

Or is there already a way to number figures (numbering tables in their  
captions, would, obviously be next on our wish list)?

Many thanks in advance for any comments.
Warm regards,
 Stefan
