Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a table with many entries and I
want to reference the key so another person can quickly look up
what the key means.  Here is some pseudocode:
snippet1\label{?key1} & longexplanatory text
snippet2\label{?key2} & longexplanatory text
snippet3\label{?key3} & longexplanatory text  connect \ref{key1}
with \ref{key13}  After compilation I want the text to read
connect snippet1 with snippet3  The reader should be able to
quickly jump to the table when clicking on snippet-N.
