I have got a multicolumn environment where I put figures into a minipage since the figure environment seems to be incompatible with multicols (at least that is what I read and indeed, putting a \begin{figure} into \begin{multicols} environment makes the illustration disappear.
Now the problem I am facing with the code below is, that, if I click on the \ref link on the bottom, the pdf reader jumps to the caption instead of the minipage resulting in the figure itself not being visible:
Does anyone have an idea how to make sure, \ref jumps to the top of the minipage environment rather than the top of the \captionof?
\begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{minipage}[t]{\columnwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{sketch}
\vspace*{-7mm}
\captionof{figure}{Iconic Pencil Figure~\cite{mobi_pencil_figure}}
\label{fig:background--iconic-pencil-figure}
\end{minipage}
\end{multicols}
Figure~\ref{fig:background--iconic-pencil-figure}}
