I'm not sure if it is job of the text editor to do this.  I suggest you
use a LaTeX package like cleveref or varioref (not sure about it) to do
the job since they are specialized on these tasks.  Take for example:

,----
| \documentclass[12pt]{article}
| \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
| \usepackage[spanish]{babel}
| \usepackage[spanish]{cleveref}
| \begin{document}
| 
| \section{Introducción}
| \label{sec:introduccion}
| 
| Dado 
| \begin{equation}
|   \label{eq:test-ref:1}
|   \int f dx=0
| \end{equation}
| y también 
| \begin{equation}
|   \label{eq:test-ref:2}
|   \sum\limits_a^{b}
| \end{equation}
| ahora (\ref{eq:test-ref:1}) and (\ref{eq:test-ref:2})\\
| \cref{eq:test-ref:1,eq:test-ref:2}
| 
| \end{document}
