Question

how we can make a word refer to something like a section or a picture in latex? I know how to refer to something by \ref{} but when we use this we see the number of the section or table or picture or ... but I wanna something like \href{}{} to make a word refer to some element like section, table, picture.

Answer 1

You can use an \hyperlink:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}


\section{title}
\label{test}

\newpage


\hyperlink{test}{link text}

\end{document}

Answer 2

You can also use

\hyperref[test]{link text}

which worked for me when \hyperlink did not. Note the square brackets.
