hyperref | Dynamic Float Linking

Post by jediwhelan »

Dear all,

I use the hyperref package to link table / figure references. Also, I find this
feature very useful when reading papers. However, what would be really cool (and productive!) would be a two way link.

For example, imagine a hyperref to a table in the appendix, which then has a hyperref back to a specific place in the text as so:

\begin{document}
\section{some title}

Blah Blah Blah, see figure \ref{table:intro} , blah blah blah ...

\begin{center}
[Insert figure \ref{table:intro} about here]
\end{center}

..... rest of paper .....

\appendix
\section{Appendix}

\begin{table}[p]
stuff
\caption{ some code to link 'table XX' back to the [ ... ] block above }
\label{table:intro}
\end{table}

Hopefully this makes sense. I can't think how to make this work unfortunately.

As always, many thanks.
Paul
