[Tex/LaTex] Hyperlinks do not work with cleveref (beamer)

beamercleverefhyperref

In the MWE below, you will see that \cref is not working with hyperref. Also, even with the conventional \ref command, hyperref leads to the wrong equation

This is the output

enter image description here

This is where \ref takes us (right under Equation 1, instead of Equation 1 itself)

One solution is mentioned in cleveref hyperlink not working in beamer redefines \cref as follows

\let\chyperref\cref % Save the orginal command under a new name
\renewcommand{\cref}[1]{{\hyperlink{#1}{\chyperref{#1}}}} % Redefine the \cref command and explictely add the hyperlink.

The solution above works only to reference only one equation. If multiple equations are referenced, hyperlink will always take us to the beginning of the document. This means that \cref with this solution is pretty much the same as \ref

Best Answer

No, hyperrefs with cleverref and beamer don't work. You only need to compile a small beamer document with cleverref and then look in the log:

Package cleveref Warning: hyperref package loaded with implicit=false option - 
disabling cleveref's hyperref support. This situation is not supported by cleveref, 
and there's no guarantee anything will work. You're on your own! on input
