... So what I think I need to do is create HTML links to named
destionations within my PDF file. I haven't found a simple way to do this;
I tried opening the PDF in acrobat and viewed named destinations, and
wrote down the names of the chapter headings on a piece of paper, and I
surmised that I could then create a hypertext link along the lines of:
...Nexus3RefGuideBuild1.pdf#page=6
or
...Nexus3RefGuideBuild1.pdf#nameddest=m5.9.14293...
(referencing
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf#search=%22pdf%20open%20to%20page%20url%22)
However, that doesn't seem to work, in a browser. Or at least I haven't
been able to make it work.
Both linking methods you have used should work if the PDF is stored on a
web site (i.e. not accessed locally). Custom Acrobat extensions do exist to
support this functionality when the PDFs are stored locally.
If the PDF is stored in a web site, the destinations exist, yet the link
does not open the target location, there may be a problem with your
specific Acrobat/Reader version and the browser plug-in installed.
To test this linking capability using a separate file, try clicking the
link below:

(if successful, the PDF should open on page 2).
Other than linking to the destinations created by cross-reference markers
or by the automatic hypertext links in generated files (as present in the
PDF files), you can create custom destinations using the newlink hypertext
markers, eg:
newlink ABC
Resulting PDF destinations would be m8.newlink.ABC or mN.8.newlink.ABC
(when the file is part of the book, N indicating the file position in the
book).
(Using the FM-to-Acrobat add-on, it is possible to create custom
destinations which do not have a variable prefix -- see
http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#12 for more info/examples).
