Does lynx happen to put the address of the current page in some global

yes/no - it's a member of a structure.  GridText.c (which is the file
that formats the current document into a display).  Its notion of the
current document is an HText (structure) named HTMainText. The address is in an HTAnchor named HTParentAnchor. HTAnchor's contain addresses and
titles.

But dumping is a special case of display - it bypasses most of GridText.c

However - to your point - when you're telling lynx to dump a file, that
goes to the standard output.  Redirecting that with a script should be
simple.  (That doesn't require knowing anything about the variables that
lynx uses).
