First of all thank you very much for this great PDF library!!
I've been using it a lot lately and I've always been very happy with the 
generated PDFs.

As I couldn't find a solution to my problem in this mailing-list I decided to
ask for any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

I create a PDF document from scratch containing different elements like 
Chapters, Sections, PdfPTables, Paragraphs and so on. For internal link 
functionality I'm using Chunks like this:

Chunk linkSource = new Chunk("Details");
linkSource.setLocalGoto("id_123");
document.add(linkSource);

Later on in the document I'm adding the linkTarget chunk:

Chunk linkTarget = new Chunk(" ");
linkTarget.setLocalDestination("id_123");
document.add(linkTarget);

This works perfectly fine. 
But what I want to do now is that the linkSource chunk title contains the page 
number where the linkTarget can be found in the document.
So instead of "Details" I want something like "page X" where X is the page
number where the linkTarget is.
The purpose is that if someone prints the document he's still able to follow 
the link on paper.
How can I achieve this? 
At the moment of creating the linkSource I have no idea at what page the 
linkTarget will be placed.
I was thinking of the onGenericTag method of the PdfPageEvent but I don't know 
how to change the title of the sourceChunk if it's already added to the 
document.

I would be very thankful for any hints or suggestions on how to solve this 
problem.
Thanks.
Mike
