You can write a tree processor that visits all the figures in a document and sets an explicit caption.

In fact, there's already an extension available that does something similar to what you are asking. See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-extensions-lab/blob/master/lib/autoxref-treeprocessor.rb

Is there a way to assign figure numbers dynamically using Asciidoctor?

I indexed them by section so, for example, the third figure in section 6 is captioned Figure 6.03.

The problem is that I currently have these captions hard-coded and if I want to insert a new section, I have to rename all of the figure captions and references within all of the following sections.

Here is my document for reference.
