Automatic clickable links directly to the description labels

Question

For the university I am composing a document of only definitions, containing all the definitions of difficult terms that I encounter while studying. The document actually is a large set of description environments, separated only by the sections that group the entries according to the chapters of the reference book. Moreover I am inserting many clickable links that refer to various items of the text, both because some terms have a very widespread synonym (which therefore I have to insert as a separate item but that actually refers only to the main term) and because, sometimes, in the text of a definition I use a term which is then explained in another entry and which is therefore convenient to link with a clickable link.

Since each term is unique and all are inserted inside the square brackets typical of the description environments, it is possible to create a command that, with a simple syntax like \go_to{term_xy}, tells LaTeX to connect to the only point of the source where is the string [term_xy]? Thus the creation of the interlinks would be greatly facilitated, above all because I could avoid replacing the already compiled entries with \hypertarget{term_xy}{term_xy}.

Below is an example of how I create links now:

item [\hypertarget{peptidoglycan}{Peptidoglycan}] definition...
other items ...
item [Murein] see $rightarrow$ \hyperlink{peptidoglycan}{peptidoglycan}

I'm open also for advices that bypass the problem
