It might be Preview that is broken, because I can take the links in PDF from a 
text editor and run them in Terminal, and then it works. You can try this by 
using the Terminal command
  less <file>.pdf
answer 'yes' to open a binary, hit <space> until you see a link of the form
  textedit:///Users/.../<file>.ly:40:2:3
Copy such a link, and run
  open textedit:///Users/.../<file>.ly:40:2:3
On my computer, the LilyPond app opens, and the text is selected.
