Q:

"Manual" customizable reference text

For a document I am writing, I am considering a table indexed by references to positions in the text with a description of each item.
I know already that I can create a phantom section, and make a reference to it (here), but then all references appear with the same identifier "section x.x".
Is there any way to customize the reference's text so that I can differentiate the indexes in my table without having to create an independent subsection for each?

A:

The hyperref package requires what you need (see the manual on page 14), use \hyperlink{name}{text} and \hypertarget{name}{text}, so for your example:
\phantomsection\\hypertarget{link.name}{}
...
\hyperlink{link.name}{really important}

will create an invisible link labeled "really important".
