Based on this, I have this MWE:
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\newcommand*\circled[1]{\tikz[baseline=(char.base)]{
\node[shape=circle,draw,inner sep=2pt, text width=5em] (char) {#1};}}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
Numbers aligned with the text: \label{page1}.
\lipsum[1-20]
Now refer back to page \circled{\pageref*{page1}}
\end{document}
The following output is generated:
The hyperlink only points from the number (the red rectangle around it). What I need is the whole circle will be hyperlinked (so, clicking anywhere in the circle would work). Any advice?
