I don't understand why one would want to do this. Can you give an example?
The reason why you use labels for referencing in LyX and LaTeX is that you
don't want to think in terms of section numbers. I label my equations in
such a way that I can remember the name, e.g. \label{maxwell-curl-diff}.
Then it does not matter at all in what section it is.
