First instead of 1 when referencing
I'm using an enumeration with labels assigned to the items.
Referencing to the items it works fine, but in some cases I would like to have "1st" or even "first" instead of just "1", with the former one not being that much of an issue, but as I'm also using hyperref I would like to have "1st" as a link and not only "1"st with the "1" being the link.
But the "first" is more important for me and it should also be a clickable link.
Does anyone have a solution for my issue?
see the MWE here:
documentclass{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputec}
usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
begin{document}
begin{enumerate}
item Item1 label{itm:1}
end{enumerate}
Item ref{itm:1} xyz...\
The ref{itm:1}st item xyz...\
The first item xyz...
end{document}

You can use hyperref to create a link like ref would do (the first argument is an optional argument, but I don't know why):
documentclass{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
begin{document}
begin{enumerate}
item Item1 label{itm:1}
end{enumerate}
Item ref{itm:1} xyz...\
The ref{itm:1}st item xyz...\
The hyperref[itm:1]{first} item xyz...
end{document}
Works like a charm, thanks a lot!

Building on Ulrike’s answer,
documentclass{article}
usepackage{fmtcount}
usepackage{refcount}
usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
newcommand{ordinalref}[1]{%
hyperref[#1]{ordinalstringnum{getrefnumber{#1}}}%
}
begin{document}
begin{enumerate}
item Item1 label{itm:1}
end{enumerate}
Item ref{itm:1} xyz...\
The ordinalref{itm:1} item xyz...\
The first item xyz...
end{document}
It doesn't work for nested items, unless you change the reference format.

Thanks, that also looks like a great solution and an even more flexible one than Ulrikes as it's more automated when adding/removing items. But is it possible to define the language for that to something different than english?

This won't work if you change the numbering in the enumerate e.g. to alph or roman, or in a nested enumerate (which uses (a) as label). It would be imho better to use zref instead of refcount for something like this.
