CounterIncrements is a front-end option that is documented in the online help. It's in OtherInformation`FormattingOptions`AutomaticNumberingOptions`Counter Assignment and Incrementing. As for your question, if it's in an add-on package, then your best bet is to read the code. If you're after undocumented stuff that has been compiled into the exe's or dll's, then short of disassembly, you're probably out of luck. That's leaving aside questions as to whether it's particularly wise to rely on undocumented functions.
