I first must admit that I didn't read this whole thread and I'm not sure 
what you actually need, but think you can insert text "Fig (2.1)" in a 
cross reference.

I hope I understood you well and I really wont to help you:

First you should insert your picture and set anchoring as Regina said. 
Then insert text "Fig." after that go Insert - Cross-reference, choose 
Variable tab and there (in format box) select Text, enter e.g "(2.1)" 
and then write rest of the caption text.

Now select only "Fig. (2.1)" or what ever you need and go to 
Cross-reference tab, choose Set reference, enter it's name in Name box, 
and choose Insert.

Place your cursor in desire position and then in Cross-reference tab 
choose insert reference, select reference, and in a white box left to 
the Name select Reference, hit Insert.

I hope that's what you wont to do. You still have to manually insert 
Variables and set cross-reference, but you sort the brackets problem.
