Can I use `hyperref` in R markdown2

Question

Is it possible to have links in the Table of Contents using R markdown v2?

In LaTeX this would be by loading \package{hyperref}

`! LaTeX Error: Can be used only in preamble.` when putting after the front matter, opens in HTML mode if in front. — Joanne Demmler, Aug 28 '14 at 08:54
You can modify the TeX template used by RMarkdown v2 so that it loads the `hyperref` package. This answer has details: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25513671/how-to-avoid-blank-space-for-title-in-r-markdown-v2/25533572#25533572 — Jonathan, Aug 28 '14 at 19:22

The answer to this question is actually mentioned here:

As mentioned this YAML option is not easy to find.

Solution

add the following to the YAML front matter:

header-includes:
    - \usepackage{hyperref}

Looks like `hyperref` might alreay be included anyway, just see it as an example of adding ANY LaTeX package to R markdown. – Joanne Demmler Oct 07 '14 at 12:16
