How to reference a point in a document with a counter and descriptive text?

Question

This is a follow-up question to the previous questions:

• How to label a word inside a paragraph?

• How to refer back to a point in the document with custom counters?

The code below

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\makeatletter
\newcounter{step}
\renewcommand*{\thestep}{(\textbf{Task~\arabic{step}})} % needed
\newcommand*{\TASK}[1]{%
  \begingroup
    \refstepcounter{step}%
    \label{#1}%
    \thestep
  \endgroup
}
\newcommand*{\REF}[1]{%
  \begingroup
    \refstepcounter{step}%
    \phantomsection
     \ref{#1}
  \endgroup
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
text1 \TASK{t.limit} referenced as \REF{t.limit}.
\end{document} 

gives me a text like this:

How should I modify it so that by writing

text1 \TASK{t.limit}{Limit behavior} referenced as \REF{t.limit}.

or something similar, I get the output below?

Answer 1

You can do it by modifying \thestep to also include the additional text:

Code:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\makeatletter
\newcounter{step}
\newcommand{\Decription}{}%
\renewcommand{\thestep}{(\textbf{Task~\arabic{step}}\Decription)} % needed
\newcommand{\TASK}[2]{%
  \begingroup
    \xdef\Decription{: #2}
    \refstepcounter{step}%
    \label{#1}%
    \thestep
  \endgroup
}
\newcommand{\REF}[1]{%
  \begingroup
    \refstepcounter{step}%
    \phantomsection
     \ref{#1}
  \endgroup
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
text1 \TASK{t.limit}{Limit behavior} referenced as \REF{t.limit}
\end{document}
