\label does not let you make links to arbitrary places,
but only to some well-defined structural parts of a document;
e.g. sections, figure captions, table captions, and some
other special environments controlled by counters.
Then you need to check whether \ref results in a hyperlink that
takes you to the exact place or just to the page on which it occurs.
If you are wanting to link to arbitrary places, then it is
\hypertarget and \hyperlink that will do it for you.
Even "exact place" is a rather tricky concept, since you may
need to raise the target point to be slightly higher than the
tallest letter in a word, so that the content you want to
jump to appears within the target window, not out-of-screen
slightly above it.
hyperref has a "raiselinks" loading option that allows this
to be done automatically with some usages of \link ,
though this doesn't seem to be implemented for PDF output.
