hi Scribus developers,
I just put up a patch that implements an idea: add the ability to link
objects to PDF links. I hope this doesn't exist already... ;)
Anyway, so what it does is add some code to the pdflib_core file. It
looks for an attribute called "ltarget". If it finds it the code looks
for the Object in the document that has a name that is the attribute's
value. If found it calculates the objects position in the document and
uses that position for the link. I hope that makes sense.
I've had luck testing the idea so far. The pdf I've been generating
uses the "ltarget" links and links that don't use it. Both are working.
I thought this might be a good idea as frequently in documents I want
links to jump to a certain object and the documents change often. This
is supposed to make it easier to alter documents without having to fix
links at the same time.
