LyX ⇒ Internal Link/Cross Reference/Page Jump

[kymaroon]

I would like to be able to link text in one area of my document to text in another area, similar to a table of contents. (This would be something like a miniature table of contents in each section.) In other words, I would like to be able to place a hyperlink on certain text in my document on page 35 that sends the jump to page 75. I've tried using the cross-referencing feature with labels, but I don't want a page number listed next to the original text. Is this possible?

Yep, it's possible.

• In PDF properties select Use hyperref support
• Insert a label (named XlabelX in this example) in the text you want to link to
• To create a link to that label add the following in evil red text:
[code]\hyperref[XlabelX]{This is a link to the text from earlier}[/code]
• In your pdf click "This is a link to the text from earlier" and be transported

As far as I'm aware links point to the start of the section or float that you linked to, rather than the specific point in the text, I'll let you play.

Enjoy.

Is there any way to workaround this so that you don't have to type that all the time?
Can you define a Macro or something like that?. I used to do this in latex:
\hyperref[fig:label]{Figure~\ref{fig:label}}
What is quite repetitive.

Thanks in advance
