Changing 'Alt Text' of Hyperlinks in LaTeX

[CRGreathouse]

I'm using the hyperref package in LaTeX and I was wondering if there's a way to change the 'alt text' (title text) for links. Anyone know? Perhaps there is a different package I could use?

I don't know the answer but am curious now. Are you doing this to use with latex2html, or does the pdf format support title text as well?

When I hover over a PDF link I see a title box with the URL. I don't know if this can be customized or not. I hoped that it could be, and that further it could be customized from pdfLaTeX.

Hmm... yeah. I'm not sure it's possible. I looked around for a while and found nothing. hyperref does not seem to support it and it's pretty standard. Sorry I can't help more.

At least now I know not to look further.

Thanks for looking into it.
