I tried to incorporate Fagin's solution in the above and with, in the  
preamble,
	\usepackage{titleref}

	\newcounter{labb}
	\newcommand{\lab}[1]{\label{#1}\stepcounter{labb}}
	\renewcommand\theTitleReference[2]{\bfseries{#1}\ \emph{#2}}

and in the body

	\section{This And That} \lab{1}

both

	\ref{1}
and
	\titleref{1}

typeset correctly to "4.7" and "4.7 This And That"

2) In the preamble I then tried to define mysection but everything I  
tried failed miserably.

Hopeful regards
