The hyperref package does all of these things. you may need to include it with options like ~~backlinks~~backref to get back references, but it does everything you need.

Once you start using hyperref, you might well ask yourself: How can I remove the ugly borders around clickable crossreferences and hyperlinks? For even more issues regarding this package, check out the top questions tagged with {[tag:hyperref]}. – doncherry Nov 01 '11 at 12:22
The documentation is pretty voluminous. To just create a simple hyperlink, this worked for me: \usepackage{hyperref} at the top after the other usepackages, and \href{url}{linktext} where I want to put a link. – nealmcb Oct 25 '12 at 02:04

The option is called backref, not backlinks. – Cerran Mar 07 '14 at 17:32

@doncherry Your link to the hyperref resource gives a 403 only. – BairDev May 11 '16 at 09:09
@malte It wasn’t me who posted that link, but I replaced it with a working one anyway ;). Thanks for pointing that out! – doncherry May 11 '16 at 14:25
