As i understand things, one can programmatically, using itext,

Correct.
Are you saying that it is indeed possible to have the same kind of
formatting in a flattened field?
Sure. Just treat the field as a "placeholder rectangle" of
where you are you to place your formatted data. Then just draw it
like you would anything else and get rid of the field when done.
Like for example if i copy the visual output from a browser window
(with links, tables, etc) and then paste this clipboard buffer into
a PDF (with a rtf-enabled field), then the formatting is preserved.
Not all of it - Acrobat rich text (NOT RTF) fields are
limited in what they support. But conceptually, sure.
Could i also take the html representation (the basis of the visual
output) and insert this into a rtf-enabled field and then flatten
the whole thing to get the same result?
Again, you don't insert and flatten. But the concept is the same.
