[Tex/LaTex] Making clickable links to sections with hyperref

Question

I would like to make a word of text, that when clicked upon in the PDF file takes me to some section. I'm using the hyperref package. I rejected \nameref because it produces the section title and I want my own link text. I also rejected \hyperlink because it does not work (no link, does not seem to know the section label as a link target).

What's a good way to do this?

Answer 1

\hyperref is your friend:

\usepackage{hyperref}

%... other code

\section{Hello World}
\label{sec:hello}

\hyperref[sec:hello]{Word of text}
