MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ hyperref | Hyperlink inside Index Entry

[safwatonline]

Hello,
I am using the following command to set an entry inside the index referring to another entry in the index with \index{EntryX|see{EntryY}}.

But how to make EntryY a hypperlink to its location in the index?
Is that doable?

Does the "hyperindex" option to the hyperref package do what you want (or close to it)?

The "hyperindex" option doesn't modify \see. You not only need the argument of \see to be a link, you also need to define the target point. This can be done using \hypertarget and \hyperlink like this:

Code: Select all

\index{Entry Y@\hypertarget{Entry Y}{Entry Y}}
\index{Entry X|see{\hyperlink{Entry Y}{Entry Y}}}

This is okay if you only have a few cross-referenced terms. If you have a lot you'll need to adopt a different strategy.
