Orgmode, referencing an item in a numbered list

Question

I need to refer to the item number in a numbered list. For instance:

1. Something 2. See item (1) 3. Something else 

Orgmode allows me to create hyperlinks but they are useless in the printed document, so I need to refer to the actual item number . I am not picky about how it is presented (1), <1>, 1. etc., Everything is in order for my needs.

Answer 1

The OrgMode manual has an example using internal links.

The following document:

 1. <<first>>Something 2. See item [[first]] 3. Something else 

Will be exported as:

 1. Something 2. See item 1 3. Something else
