Reference Sheet Numbers and Titles in Model Space

I have been searching this topic on the forums for a couple hours and most of the results are somewhat dated. They also seem extremely complicated for what I feel should be a simple process.

 

How do I reference the number and title of a sheet in model space? We have instances where we refer to sheet numbers and titles in model space. Our sheet numbers and titles can change from time to time so I would like to be able to link the references in model space to the actual numbers and titles located in the title block on the sheets.

 

Our layout tabs are named with the sheet numbers so we use CTAB to display the sheet number in the title block. The sheet titles are a block attribute in the title block. 

 

Obviously my attempts to display the numbers/titles in model space have been based around using fields but everything I've tried has failed miserably. Is there not a way to do this using fields? Is there a different solution? Any help is appreciated.

So the version of AutoCAD I'm running is actually "Civil3D as AutoCAD 2019". Most of our techs use Civil3D but as an electrical guy, they set up mine up to launch as vanilla AutoCAD. 

 

It turns out there is a raster options dialog in C3D that can be accessed using MAPIOPTIONS which contains a preference to Always Ask, Always Detach, or Never Detach when deleting the last instance of a raster image. I set it to Always Detach and I no longer get the prompt when running the LISP.
