Description

Hello

Yesterday Ulrike Fischer helped me (thanks) to locally switch from the equationautorefname equations to inequality and back
(equationautorefname)
Then I discovered that cleverref has a more general solution.
Here is a MWE

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[nameinlink]{cleveref}
\crefalias{inequality}{equation}
\crefname{inequality}{Inequality}{Inequalities}
\creflabelformat{inequality}{#2\textup{(#1)}#3}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
  \label{Pythagoras}
  a^2+b^2= c^2 
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
  \label[inequality]{cauchy-schwarz}
  \left(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i \cdot y_i \right)^2 \leq \left(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2\right) \cdot \left(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i^2\right)
\end{equation}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Pythagoras: \Cref{Pythagoras}
  \item Cauchy-Schwarz \Cref{cauchy-schwarz}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

now cleverref is not really maintainted anymore, and it is not compatible with mathtools.

So is there any possiblity that hyperref adds a similar feature?

The other feature proposal concerns the reference to equations: Equation (1) is more standard that Equation 1.
There are hacks to solve this issue, like
autoref-with-braces-equation-number

Any chance to have this feature implemented in the official hyperref version?

Research direction

Start by compiling the provided LaTeX MWE and compare hyperref's current behavior with the cited cleveref and autoref workarounds. Done means evaluating both proposals: an optional label type for equations and configurable braces around equation references, while considering the stated mathtools compatibility concern.
