I «solved» my problem by using the following code which I found in the
manual
(defun detect-question (bound)
  (let ((cnt 0))
    (catch 'exit
      (while
          ;; Search backward for all possible delimiters
          (re-search-backward
           (concat "\\(^[ \t]*\n\\)\\|\\(\\\\question\\.\\)\\|"
                   "\\(\\question\\)\\|\\(\\\\question\\.\\)")
           nil t)
        ;; Check which delimiter was matched.
        (cond
         ((match-beginning 1)
          ;; empty line terminates all - return nil
          (throw 'exit nil))
         ((match-beginning 2)
          ;; \z. terminates one list level - decrease nesting count
          (decf cnt))
         ((match-beginning 3)
          ;; \ex. : return match unless there was a \z. on this level
          (throw 'exit (if (>= cnt 0) (match-beginning 3) nil)))
         ((match-beginning 4)
          ;; \a. : return match when on level 0, otherwise
          ;;       increment nesting count
          (if (>= cnt 0)
              (throw 'exit (match-beginning 4))
            (incf cnt))))))))             

(detect-question ?q "question:%f" "~\\ref{%s}" nil ("question"))

This code is a completely overkill and I have to debug it to see, what I
can delete but right now it works.
