Display reference name, label number and target name with cleveref

Question

I want to reference a section with cleveref like in the following example:

\section{Foobar}
\label{sec:foobar}

See \cref{sec:foobar}.

The output of this is:

See section 1.

But what I would like is this:

See section 1 Foobar.

I understand that there is no command by default, that produces this output.

So I tried to build my own command like suggested for the hyperref package in this question. However, I could not find an equivalent command to hyperref's \nameref in cleveref's documentation.

Is it possible to create a new command, that produces my desired output?

You can just load hyperref and use its \nameref command on top of cleveref. — Andrew Swann, Sep 11 '13 at 13:20
@sfat What about Andrew's suggestion? Is it working for you? — Ludovic C., Sep 15 '13 at 22:54
Yes, it is. Quite comfortabily actually, as I've been using hyperref anyway. I think this could be posted as an answer to the question. — sfat, Sep 16 '13 at 06:28

According to @AndrewSwann's suggestion, I created a command, that makes use of both cleveref's \Cref and hyperref's \nameref:

\newcommand*{\fullref}[1]{\hyperref[{#1}]{\Cref*{#1} \nameref*{#1}}}

The benefit compared to the solution in this question, which only uses hyperref, is that the use of \Cref allows for capitalized reference names.

Both \Cref and \nameref create a single link. Encapsulating them in \hyperref merges them to a single link.

With regard to the query you posted originally, what is the instruction \hyperref[{#1}] inside the \fullref macro supposed to achieve? – Mico Oct 19 '13 at 09:21
I have edited my answer to clarify \hyperref's intent. – sfat Oct 19 '13 at 09:38
Thanks for explaining what the \hyperref[]{} instruction does. – Mico Oct 19 '13 at 10:02
