Hyperlinks in Latex: Insert Bibliographic Refs w/Bibtex

[lavster]

hi, how do i insert Hypertext Links in Bibliographic References in my latex document. I am using bibtex and i want to be able to click on the reference in my text and it bring me to the reference. Similarly for figures, clicking on the figure reference in the text and it bring me to the figure. I use both document class revtex 4-1 and article
thanks

To get hyperlinks you want to use some package that generates hyperlinks. That is exactly what the hyperref package does. I use

\usepackage[colorlinks,plainpages=false]{hyperref}

Figures and tables are easy. Just give them a \label. You can refer to this label with a \ref. The figure or table number will be a hyperlink if you use the hyperref package. External links are a bit tougher, but not bad. Use the \href macro for this. You can make the TITLE of some bib specification a href via TITLE = "{\href{link_to_file_or_url}{Title}}".
