you’ll need to write a command in your favorite scripting language (anything from php to Ruby) which takes the document as input, returns a tootip as output, and, in the actual script, does a grep for the section breaks, finds the cites in each, and returns the counts.

you can find code that does most of this in the latex bundle. I have some in markdown which also digs through a file looking for citations to return them as options in a cite drop down.
