5.3.7 Equation reference hyperlinks: eq

All commands that define equation labels are part of the `eq' destgroup. These are \eqdef, \eqdefn, \eqsubdef and \eqsubdefn (see Equation references). All these commands use the equation label as the hyperlink label. However, if the equation label is empty, they make up a (hopefully) unique hyperlink label for the destination. This label will be used for the link when you refer to this empty-labeled equation with one of the equation reference macros.

The command \phantomeqlabel is called to generate hyperlink labels for the empty-labeled equations. By default, it produces the labels in the format `PHEQnumber', where number comes from the count register \phantomeqnumber; this count register is incremented at every empty-labeled equation definition.

The commands \eqref and \eqrefn (see Equation references) form the `eq' linkgroup. These commands take an optional argument, which, when present, is tied with \reftie to the equation reference and becomes part of the link. The equation label is used for the hyperlink label; if the label is empty, the link is for the label generated for the last empty-labeled equation.
