Cite Author's Full Name

Question

I'd like to generate a linked citation with a full author's name.

For instance, if I use

According to \citet{bob2000} apples are tasty.

And run with hyperref, I get the author's last name and a nice hyperlink to the bibliography. But I want the author's full name!

How can I achieve this? (BibLaTeX is also an option, but equally mysterious on this point.)

Answer 1

As it turned out, in this particular instance it worked well enough for me to modify the BibTeX source itself:

@misc{bob2000,
  title={An exposition on the tastiness of apples},
  author={{Bob T. Smith}}
}

Note the double brackets {{ and }} in the entry, which cause display of the full author string, rather than some formatting thereof.
