What you are looking for is reftex, which is very poweful for
references and cites. If you already have installed the package (I
believe it came with your Emacs or AucTeX binaries), you can put this
into your .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;--------------------------------------------
;; RefTeX
;;--------------------------------------------
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)
(setq reftex-enable-partial-scans t)
(setq reftex-save-parse-info t)
(setq reftex-use-multiple-selection-buffers t)
(setq reftex-texpath-environment-variables
      '("./inp:/PATH/TO/YOUR/TEX/DOCUMENTS//"))
(setq reftex-bibpath-environment-variables
      '("/PATH/TO/YOUR/BIB/FILE/"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
