Here's a simple function that produces what you want.

Proposition[foo_] :=
CellPrint[Cell[TextData[{"Propostion ",
     CounterBox[
       "Title",foo],".",
         CounterBox["Section",foo],".",
           CounterBox["Proposition",foo]}], "Text"]]

Then you call it for the desired tag

Proposition["tag"]

You can cut and paste the the output to where you want it. These kinds 
of operations are discussed in the upcoming issue of Mathematica in 
Education & Research (MIER).

Also, with one of our packages, you can easily make this into a palette.

<<FormMaker`

DisplayNotebook[MakeNotebook[
     ActionBox[
       "Insert Proposition",
       Module[{foo},
         foo = InputString["Enter tag:"];
         NotebookWrite[
       InputNotebook[],Cell[TextData[{"Propostion ",
         
CounterBox["Title",foo],".",CounterBox["Section",foo],".",CounterBox["
         Proposition",foo]}],"Text"]]
         ]
       ],NotebookStyle->"Palette"]]
