Juan,
Please send your emails as plain text. I'm pasting your note here:
<Juan's note>
I'm using Scribus in Ubuntu Hardy to design a digital magazine. Once
the PDF is generated, could it be possible to establish a link to a
specific page from outside? I mean, is it possible to include a mark in
a page that afterwards I could use it to access that page directly by
means an external link?
</Juan's note>

One question is, linking from what?
If you're linking from a PDF, the answer is certainly yes. If you look 
at the features of PDF links in Scribus, you will see that you can link 
to another file, and in addition to a specific page. You can also link 
within a PDF to another page in the PDF.

1. Create a *regular* text frame
2. right-click for Context Menu, select PDF Options > Is PDF Annotation.
3. right-click again, PDF Options > Annotation Properties; this brings 
up a dialog
4. Choose Link (same document), External Link (different PDF), or 
External Web-Link (will be dependent on whether this is enabled in your 
OS/browser)
5. Under Link you specify a page and can also specify particular X and Y 
coordinates on the page. External link asks for the document, then for 
page and coordinates. Web-link asks for URL.

Note that you cannot test these in Scribus, you have to make the PDF and 
check with your PDF viewer.
