I want to be able to add a clickable link to prenote/postnotes that sends me to the same place as the actual in text citation. I'm using biblatex with natbib.

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=ieee, natbib=true]{biblatex}


\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}


\begin{document}


I'm trying to hyperlink the prenote of the following cite~\cite[Table 20]{einstein}.


\printbibliography


\end{document}

enter image description here

Is it possible to add 'Table 20' to the same link as the cite link (make 'Table 20' green with the same cite link as '1')? Thanks in advance.

  • perhaps, but from you description is no even clear which bib system you are using -- you used both biblatex and natbib as tag. So add a small but complete example. Also you should say what should happen, if you have two citations keys in the command, e.g. \cite[Table 20]{ash,yyy} – Ulrike Fischer Dec 04 '20 at 11:32
  • Thanks for your advice! I've added a small example but I'm not sure what you mean by the two citation keys? As I understood the prenote should only be relevant to one specific citation key. – TERA Dec 04 '20 at 12:00
  • but \cite[Table 20]{einstein,ash} is allowed input. So what should biblatex do there? – Ulrike Fischer Dec 04 '20 at 13:38
  • Oh I see... By testing with ieee style the prenote is only added to the last reference which in your last example is 'ash'. I would want the prenote to also have the same citelink to the reference 'ash' in this case. – TERA Dec 04 '20 at 14:12
  • does ieee style sort and compress citations? – Ulrike Fischer Dec 04 '20 at 14:19

You can try sneaking in a \bibhyperref into the field formats for prenote and postnote.

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[backend=biber, style=ieee, natbib=true]{biblatex}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}


\DeclareFieldFormat{prenote}{\bibhyperref{#1\isdot}}
\DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{\bibhyperref{\mkpageprefix[pagination][\mknormrange]{#1}}}


\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}


\begin{document}
Lorem~\cite[Table~20]{sigfridsson}.


Lorem~\cite[cf.][Table~20]{sigfridsson,worman}.


\printbibliography
\end{document}

Linked pre- and postnotes

Conceptually speaking this is a bit tricky, since it is not always clear whether a pre- or postnote belongs to the citation or is there in a meta capacity, this is especially true if there are multiple citation keys in one \...cite.
