Seems to work Ok here.

One thing I see is that you need to have the place you're linking to out 
of view or you won't see any movement to anywhere.

You may need to reconsider what you're going to do. Another way to give 
endnote-like information would be with an annotation, which pops up when 
someone hovers over the annotation frame.
