Refer to a paralist item in a section

Question

I am using paralist's asparaenum instead of subsections. Occasionally, though, I would like to refer to an asparaenum item. Here is a MWE:

\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage{paralist}%
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{cleveref}
\begin{document}
\chapter{The First}\label{1-0}
\section{One}\label{1-1}
\begin{asparaenum}
\item%1
Some stuff
\item%2
Important Stuff
\end{asparaenum}
Occasionally, I would like to refer to just the item Important Stuff in \Cref{1-1} \nameref{1-1} rather than to the whole section 1.
\end{document}

Answer 1

Try to add labels after items, something like \item\label{1-1-2}%2 Important Stuff and then referencing it for example \ref{1-1-2}

Excerpt from \verb+paralist+ package, page 6:

In your example:

\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage{geometry}

\usepackage{paralist}%
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{cleveref}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\chapter{The First}\label{1-0}

Excerpt from \verb+paralist+ package, page 6:

\noindent\rule{\linewidth}{1pt}
As an example, we use \verb+asparaenum+ within this paragraph.
    \begin{enumerate}
\item   Every \verb+\item+ is basically set as a separate paragraph. The second
line is not indented (this is a feature, not a bug).
\item   The next \verb+\item+ looks like this and is labeled.
    \end{enumerate}
The example was produced by the following piece of code:
\begin{asparaenum}
\item Every \dots
\item The next \dots \label{pl1}
\end{asparaenum}
By saying \verb+\ref{pl1}+ we get \ref{pl1}.

The \verb+inparaenum+ environment formats an enumerated list within a paragraph, just like the one in the introduction.

The example in the introduction was set by the following commands:
\begin{verbatim}
\dots of an enumerated environment that
    \begin{inparaenum}[(a)]
    \item can be used within paragraphs,
    \item takes care of enumeration and
    \item has items that can be referenced. \label{pl2}
    \end{inparaenum}
Another posting mentioned ...
\end{verbatim}
By saying \verb+\ref{pl2}+ we get c.

\noindent\rule{\linewidth}{1pt}

\section{One}\label{1-1}
In your case:
    \begin{asparaenum}
\item   Some stuff
\item\label{item:1-1-2} Important Stuff
    \end{asparaenum}
Occasionally, I would like to refer to just the item \emph{Important Stuff}, e.g \cref{item:1-1-2} in above list \dots

\section{Two}\label{1-2}
With use referencing some list item, you should be aware that when you do again like in the following case:
    \begin{asparaenum}
\item   Some stuff second time
\item\label{item:1-2-2} Important Stuff again
    \end{asparaenum}
the  \emph{Important Stuff again} has the same \verb+\cref+ mark as before, but corect hyperlink, e.g \cref{item:1-2-2},

\lipsum[2]


\newpage\noindent
which work correctly  from any part of document, e.g see \cref{item:1-2-2} on the page \pageref{item:1-2-2}!

\lipsum[3]
\end{document}

Answer 2

Type the following in the preamble:

\crefname{aspar}{Important Item}{Important Items}
\Crefname{aspar}{Important Item}{Important Items}
\crefformat{aspar}{Important Item #1}
\newcommand{\labelasp}[1]{\label[aspar]{#1}} % a new command for custom referncing important items

Where aspar is a new label type for cleveref package to identify. \labelasp is a new command you can use to identify important items. Note that Important Item can be changed to whatever name you like to be introduced, but make sure that you set plural and singular properly.

A complete code is shown below:

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{paralist}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{cleveref}


\crefname{aspar}{Important Item}{Important Items}
\Crefname{aspar}{Important Item}{Important Items}
\crefformat{aspar}{Important Item #1}
\newcommand{\labelasp}[1]{\label[aspar]{#1}} % a new command for custom referncing important items


\begin{document}

\chapter{The First}\label{1-0}
\section{One}\label{1-1}


\begin{asparaenum}
\item Some stuff
\item \labelasp{imp1}
Important stuff 2
\item \labelasp{imp2}
Important stuff 3
\item \labelasp{imp3}
Important stuff 4


\end{asparaenum}


Now you can refer to \cref{imp1} in page \labelcpageref{imp1} or multiple \cref{imp2,,imp3,,imp1} in \cref{1-1}.
