For the “more human” way of references to titles (of sections, or captions of floats) the titleref package is useful:

In the header section use:

\usepackage[usetoc]{titleref}
\renewcommand{\theTitleReference}[2]{\texttt{#2}}
% http://www.tex.ac.uk/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/titleref/titleref.pdf

and in the document you can then refere to something just with

See section \titleref{sec:results}.

Should also work with floats, but is incompatible to hyperref… But there seam to be alternatives…

Quite helpfull if you need a curvefit for your data right away without installation of anything and even without much knowledge…
