How to reference chapter/section title when using cleveref

Question

As the title says, how can you reference a chapter or section title when using cref? To be more clear: I do not want the label "section" or "chapter", I want the actual title of the chapter or section..

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[norsk]{babel} 
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage[norsk,nameinlink]{cleveref}
\begin{document}

\section{Title}


\section{another title}
%I want to reference the first section here, with its name


\end{document}

Add a \label so you have something to refer to. Then use \cref{label name} and \nameref{label name} for the title. — daleif, Mar 12 '15 at 10:01
so cleveref dont have a command similar to nameref? I would want the name clickable.. — miniHessel, Mar 12 '15 at 10:06
@miniHessel, and your point is? Not exactly clear what you are actually asking? As Yo's solution below shows the references are clickable — daleif, Mar 12 '15 at 10:17
as I commented to @yo's : I thought the best approach would be to use either cleveref or hyperref. Guess I was wrong. — miniHessel, Mar 12 '15 at 10:20

This:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[norsk]{babel} 
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage[norsk,nameinlink]{cleveref}
\begin{document}

\section{Title}


\section{another title}
\label{sss}
%I want to reference the first section here, with its name

nameref: \nameref{sss}\\
cref: \cref{sss}\\
ref: \ref{sss}

\end{document}

Gives this after 2 or 3 compilations:

Where does the avsnitt come from? – Trylks Apr 14 '15 at 17:16

@Trylks From the Norsk language? – yo' Apr 14 '15 at 17:19
I see, so it means "section" I guess. I was asking because I have a related problem but it seems to be different. Thank you. – Trylks Apr 14 '15 at 18:12

So, if I understand the comments and suggestions correctly:

Cleveref actually don't have a function equal to nameref, so the solution is to use normal \nameref

Yes, exactly. Why in the world would it double something that is (1) painful to implement and (2) perfectly done by hyperref?! – yo' Mar 12 '15 at 10:13
I just thought the best "approach" would be to use one of them through the whole document. Guess I got blinded by that. – miniHessel Mar 12 '15 at 10:17
Just FYI, cleveref does have namecref and many variants, but those similarly-named operations don't do what you want: the actual name of the labeled element. As you noticed, they instead give you the name of the "class" of element (e.g. section, chapter). – Jason Hemann Oct 01 '19 at 20:38
