Latex: hyperref to individual longtable rows

Question

I have a few longtables that stretch several pages and I want to use pageref and hyperref to link to these rows.

But whatever I try, the links always refer to the start of the table. When I look into the aux file, the labels all seem to be re-defined into table.[number of table].

I tried putting invisible dummy figures into the table, but that just gives me errors of too many floats.

I also tried putting the labels into minipages, to no avail.

Even putting the labels into footnotes doesn't work, somehow longtable always seems to get to them.

If you create a minimal example of the problem (e.g., only loading longtable and hyperref and a table full of lorem ipsum text with the non-resolving links) it might be easier for us to track down the problem. — Will Robertson, Nov 20 '08 at 04:27

I solved this problem by introducing a custom counter and label command:

\newcounter{mycounter}
\newcommand{\mylabel}[1]{\refstepcounter{mycounter} \label{#1}}

According to This article and The readme for Hyperref you need to include the Hyperref package after you include Longtable

This is good advice, but unfortunately it doesn't solve this specific problem. – ChrisN Nov 19 '08 at 22:07
