I want to be able to refer to an equation in an align* environment using a hyperlink, but in labeling the equation, I don't want there to be a visible tag.

The following code is almost what I want:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
\begin{align}
  x \tag{x}\label{x}
\end{align}


test: \ref{x}
\end{document}

demo but I don't want the '(x)' tag to be visible.

Is there an easy way to remove this with align*, or do I need to use a different environment?

    It might be possible to use a \hypertarget; see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/168832 for ideas. (Whether embedding a \hypertarget in display math will work, I can't say; never tried it.) – barbara beeton Aug 30 '20 at 03:07
  • Yes, switching from \label to \hypertarget fixed my problem, thank you! I'll leave this question open just in case someone knows the answer to it as originally stated. – rish987 Aug 30 '20 at 04:10
  • Off topic. align or `align* (or any other environment meant for a multi-line display) shouldn't be used for a one-line display. The spacing above and below is measured differently. – barbara beeton Aug 30 '20 at 13:51
  • It's just a one-line display for my MWE. Where I'm actually using this is in a multi-line display, as intended. – rish987 Aug 30 '20 at 16:05
