Hello,

yes, that might help. Org-file =references.org= is a list of bibliographic references. Each entry is actually an item in a description list, like so

#+BEGIN_SRC

- <<HASH1962>> [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0022-5096(62)90004-2][Hashin and Shtrikman (1962)]] :: Z. Hashin and S. Shtrikman, /On some variational principles in anisotropic and nonhomogeneous elasticity/, Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids 10(4):335-342, 1962

#+END_SRC

Then, in other org files, I'd like to refer to one of the items in the list. For example, I would like to write something like

Using the energy principle of Hashin and Shtrikman (1962), an upper bound on the elastic moduli can be derived.

Once exported to html, I would like the text 'Hashin [...] (1962)' to be a hyperlink which should point to references.html#HASH1962.

Do you need more details? How can I achieve that result?

It would be useful to know what you wrote in your Org file, what the
output is, and what you expected.
