I have defined an enumerate environment with custom item names: each item should start with a bullet point and then "Type X case", where the X denotes the item number.

Later in the text, I want to refer to an item in the list, but only by its number: for instance, I want to write "we now refer to case X" (where X should include a hyperlink to the relevant list item).

MWE:

documentclassreport
usepackage[shortlabels]enumitem
usepackagehyperref
begindocument
beginenumerate[label=$bullet;$textitType arabic* case:]
 item labelitem:type1case If blah blah
 item labelitem:type2case If instead blah
 item labelitem:type3case this blah
endenumerate

We now refer to case ref*item:type1case...
enddocument

The final result (in the last phrase) is something like "We now refer to case • Type 1 case:..." but I want to have instead "We now refer to case 1:..."

How to do this using enumitem package and (possibly) without having to load other packages?

enumitem knows the ref option to customise the appearance of labels

documentclassreport
usepackage[shortlabels]enumitem
usepackagehyperref
begindocument
beginenumerate[label=$bullet;$textitType arabic* case:,ref=case arabic*:]
 item labelitem:type1case If blah blah
 item labelitem:type2case If instead blah
 item labelitem:type3case this blah
endenumerate

We now refer to case ref*item:type1case...
enddocument
