Create links from references in bibliography to usages in text

Question

With the hyperref package I now automatically get links from citations in text to the full citation in the bibliography.

Is there a way to automatically get the reverse as well? How can I generate links from a bibliography to usages in text? You can find an example of this in the bibliography for Wikipedia articles.

the backref option is what you're looking for. for more than you probably want to know about it, see Precise back-reference target with hyperref and backref. — barbara beeton, Dec 04 '14 at 18:44
Naw, the linked question asks about specifics of backref while this question is asking if there is a way to do what backref does. — Praxeolitic, Dec 04 '14 at 19:59

the backref option to hyperref will reference the number of the page on which a citation appeared. there are many questions here that ask about back references, but i couldn't find one that exactly answers this question in a straightforward manner.

the question Precise back-reference target with hyperref and backref expounds on exactly where the link arrow points when such a link is taken (the top of the cited page, not to the exact location of the citation), with copious details.
