I didn't test it either; I was just looking at UF's answer on tex.sx
which you cited.

Yes, it's waiting for a volunteer to do that :-)

Ok, I think RefTeX should work for \getrefbykeydefault OOTB if we have a
refcount.el and do the same thing for \getrefbykeydefault as we do for
\nameref for example, i.e.

  (TeX-add-symbols
      '("getrefbykeydefault" TeX-arg-ref ...))

Yes, but you need an AUCTeX style file in the first place which also
caters for the other arguments.  Do you want to give it a try?
