Tables have an environment.  Is that sufficient (coupled with 
:float nil)?

Hmm.  How about a attr :environment for figures?  Wouldn't that be 
sufficient for this problem.

As you might’ve guessed, I’m not a fan of this solution.  Whether 
it’s numbered or not in the output, a [mn:N] or [sn:N] reference 
is more Orgish.  I cannot, however, speak to how difficult it 
would be to add more note types.
