Hi Alex,

as it stands, RefTeX doesn't parse the packages used in a .tex file and
sets a specific behaviour.  I presume you use AUCTeX with RefTeX and it
that case, AUCTeX has these lines in hyperref.el:

    ;; Activate RefTeX reference style.
    (and LaTeX-reftex-ref-style-auto-activate
         (fboundp 'reftex-ref-style-activate)
         (reftex-ref-style-activate "Hyperref")))

If you have TeX-parse-self set to t, it should work just fine when you
open a file containing \usepackage{hyperref}.

Best, Arash
