I once tried to set something like that up with vim. Did have a little bit 
of luck with xpdf but I never succeeded setting it up with evince.

The easiest way to be able to benifit from this cool point-and-click 
feature is installing the newest Frescobaldi. Then it just works 
out-of-the-box. Even in both ways: you can click in the Lilypond source 
and see where it is in the pdf-viewer and vice-versa! That's what I have 
done and it works great. I still also use vim to quickly edit Lilypond 
files, but without point-and-click functionality.
