I want such a feature as well, so it's likely to be added in some future releases. > It appears that LaTex has some functions for hyperlinks, but I don't know if > these can be called through PYX. No, this will not work, since PyX analyses the specials (as such information is passed to the dvi drivers) and allows for a strict set of specials only. I think we'll never start to support any hyperref feature (hyperref is the latex package by which you can do such links in LaTeX). But we can start to support such a thing natively in PyX. Some work allowing us to insert XObjects in PDFPage descriptors have already been done. (I'm not sure whether this is the feature we'll need here, but I remember that I looked into the PDF spec to see what needs to be done to implement certain features (like forms, this is what I looked for)). Anyway, this is an important feature and we'll add support for it at a certain time. Unfortunately it's out of scope for PyX 0.10, where I try to concentrate on 3d support and I really want to have 0.10 out this year.
