Capture and use export header numbering?

Capture and use export header numbering?

When an outline tree of headers

* top 1
** something
** something
** something
*** something
**** something
***** something
****** something

is exported, say, to html, org-mode produces a numerical outline as deep as
the options are set

1. top
1.1. something
1.2. something
1.3. something
1.3.1. something
1.3.1.1. something
1.3.1.1.1. something
1.3.1.1.1.1. something


Now, is there any way to actually capture that outline numeration for use
in the original buffer? I'm thinking I would like to make a sort of tags or
custom_id  system based on these numbers.

* top :1:
** something :1.1:
** something :1.2:
** something :1.3:
*** something :1.3.1:
**** something :1.3.1.1:
***** something :1.3.1.1.1:
****** something :1.3.1.1.1.1:

It would also be nice if org-mode simply used these numbers in the original
buffer instead of stars.

That will not happen. Stars are part of Org syntax.

However, you can add overlays on top of stars in order to display
numbering instead.

You might find something useful as a starting point in this old code I
posted here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-10/msg00245.html

Basically it exported to text to get the heading numbers.
