. . .put a label on the section or chapter, and then just use the
cross-references feature (maybe with a formatted reference).  This
works nicely.  In fact, the excellent cross-reference feature is one
of the two primary reasons I still use LyX and LaTeX based things
instead of OpenOffice.org, given that the latter is in much wider use
and can deliver a document format in even wider use.
