Details:

Keith Marshall observes
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2020-06/msg00039.html> that "use of a
macro set which has not been adapted to use the facilities of pdfmark" means
that links are not clickable when rendering to PDF.

He goes on to say, "When I wrote pdfmark, I provided a small wrapper for -ms,
to illustrate how the ms macros might be adapted, but I didn't modify ms
itself, and I left it as an exercise for others, to adapt other macro sets. 
AFAIK, that never happened."
