chapter

Is it possible to use \ref{chap:conclusion} to refer to the actual name of the chapter instead of the chapter counter in LaTeX? So that I can do this:

See the \ref{chap:conclusion} chapter for more information

See the Conclusion chapter for more information

instead of:

See Chapter \ref{chap:conclusion} for more

See Chapter 6 for more

Thanks
