Hi Nick, Thanks very much for your help.
Following your suggestion does the trick: <currentDocid>book</currentDocid> As a result, the link gets resolved as an internal-destination in the .fo, and this works fine in the PDF. <fo:basic-link internal-destination="chapter"><fo:inline>link to the next chapter</fo:inline></fo:basic-link>.
