I need to refer to the number of an item in a numbered list. For example:

1. Something 
2. See item (1)
3. Something else

Orgmode lets me create hyperlinks, but these are useless in a printed document, so I need to refer to the actual number of the item. I'm not picky about how it's presented (1), <1>, 1., etc. are all fine for my needs.

There is an example in the OrgMode manual using internal links.

The following document:

1. <<first>>Something
2. See item [[first]]
3. Something else

Will export as:

1. Something
2. See item 1
3. Something else

  • I have no idea how I missed this! I knew of internal links to text, which just produce hyperlinks, but didn't try that or see the example in the manual. Thank you so much! – Mayer Goldberg Jan 27 '15 at 13:02
  • As of Emacs 29, note that you will (sadly) have to customize `org-ctags-enabled-p` to nil, for the clicky link to work. – DomQ Jan 05 '23 at 15:38
