cross-referencing
In my document I am referencing a section, e.g.
\section{My Section}\label{test}
Also see section\ref{test}
This gives me, e.g.
Also see section 1
but what I want is:
Also see section My Section
How can I do that?
[Edit: comment moved to question body]
Of course it makes more sense to have something like "chapter 1 My Section", therefore mentioning chapter number and title. Anyways, this is just an example and you can easily combine both.
Apart from the use of you hypothesis construction, the following is a better suit for what you're after:
\newcounter{hypCNT}[chapter]% Hypothesis counter
% Representation of hypothesis counter: H-<chap>.<hypCNT>
\renewcommand{\thehypCNT}{H-\thechapter.\arabic{hypCNT}}
\newcommand{\hypCnt}[1]{%
\refstepcounter{hypCNT}% Step hypothesis counter
\thehypCNT% Print hypothesis counter
\label{#1}}% Mark with label
Note the use of \thechapter rather than \arabic{chapter}. This is to let the reference be dependent on whatever type of representation is used for the chapter counter, rather than explicitly stating it will be \arabic. Such recursive/dependent usages is common when dealing with sub-counters.
Consider reading up on Understanding how references and labels work where it is discussed what happens with a call to \label{..}. What is stored for future reference is \@currentlabel, which is set based on the last \refstepcounter's representation - \the<cnt>. Hence the fact that I've updated the way the counter looks via \thehypCNT.
Using a modern tool like biblatex i don't even see any of the reported problems. For a lack of a minimal working example, i cannot reproduce any of the issues and understand none of the statements made.
Following works perfectly. Unnumbered chapters that hold the bibliography for a part.

The
namerefpackage does what you want (and cooperates well withhyperref).
