Description

Today an equation number is arbitrary text - with no way to link to it.

It would be very nice if you could refer to the equation and have the link be live. This should be doable from any slide.

The equation number would have to be unique (maybe enforcedly so) for linking to work.

Fix up - after all the slides have been created would be necessary. I think footnotes already does this.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing footnote fix-up logic and the code that renders equation numbers across slides. Define how equation references and uniqueness are represented, then verify that references from any slide become live links to the corresponding equation.
