You were right: I was heading in the wrong direction.

After further `pdfmark' investigation, I noticed that I could use a
`GoTo' action in outline entries rather than the `/Page' attribute I was
using.  Each `GoTo' action must be given a `/Dest' attribute which is a
named destination (in PDF terms).

Fortunately, Lout's PostScript back-end already creates named
destinations for all large-scale structures (via invocations of
address@hidden' in `include/bsf').  So I just needed to copy Lout's naming
convention for named destinations (i.e. `ConvertToPDFName ()', in z49.c)
and voilà!

Thanks,
Ludovic.
