It would be nice to have a LaTeX package that redefines \label to

Can't we simply generate a pair of \label + \hypertarget when generating
.tex files in ox-latex? This way, we can make sure that labels in
Org-generated pdfs will be linkable from outside world.
I still have a hope that somebody can point us how to leverage hyperref
facilities. Adding \hypertarget is a step forward, but ideally internal
links generated by \ref, links in table of contents, PDF bookmarks
(table of contents side bar) should consistently use #custom_id anchors
as well. Usual #section.5 should be a fallback for cases with no user
supplied labels.
I think that generating \hypertarget + converting .org file links to
.pdf links will already be a good improvement.
Using xr-hyper requires knowledge of external files we link to and thus
can only be used during publishing, where we have all the information
about multiple exported Org documents available.
I agree that some complications exist. Just like with HTML files for Org
ones with <file:another.org::*heading> links. Several iterations of tex
files compilation are required. .aux files for all .tex files must be
available to get cross-file links working.
