How to change Bibliography settings to enable links

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of changing the Bibliography settings to include hyperlinks to papers. It is suggested that using a more modern style or the hyperref package may allow for automatic recognition and hyperlinking of fields such as DOIs or URLs. However, it is uncertain if the current citation code can accommodate this.

TL;DR Summary
I can get the citation code from Inspire.net for papers. However, can I change the Bibliography settings in some way such that there are hyperlinks to the paper? I don't want to embed it manually for every reference.

For instance. Now, I use the citation code

@article{Hawking:2000kj, author = "Hawking, S. W. and Hertog, T. and Reall, H. S.", title = "{Brane new world}", eprint = "hep-th/0003052", archivePrefix = "arXiv", reportNumber = "DAMTP-2000-25", doi = "10.1103/PhysRevD.62.043501", journal = "Phys. Rev. D", volume = "62", pages = "043501", year = "2000" }

In the end of my LaTeX document I also have

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{References}
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{article}

Maybe there is a different style that can enable hyperlinks automatically? Or maybe the citation code cannot accommodate this?

Your provlem is that unsrt is an elderly style which prcedes things like DOIs or URLs (and, indeed, hyperlinks).

There are more modern styles which can recognise such fields (such as unsrturl) and some which will automatically typeset anything in a "url" bibtex field as a hyperlink if you are using the hyperref package. There may or may not be styles which will create a URL from a DOI and typeset it accordinly. However I don't think unsrturl actually does either of those things. Not having tried to mess around with bst files myself I don't know how easy it would be to modify it to do that.
