Forgot to mention that FOP does provide an extension that is supposed to
make named destinations work:
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.5/extensions.html#named-destinations
When the DocBook stylesheet param fop1.extensions="1" is set, the
stylesheet writes the set of <fox:destination> elements into the FO file
for that purpose. But they don't seem to actually work in the PDF.
There is an open bug report on this at the Apache site:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2839

The problem with FOP, including version 2.5, is that it does not write
the original ID values from the DocBook file into the PDF, but
substitutes different IDs. So although DocBook XSL creates the right
syntax for linking into the middle of a PDF document, the target IDs
don't exist in FOP's PDF.

Thanks, Tony.
As I said, PDF-fu. You work for Antenna House, Masters of the PDF
Universe. Case, rested.
But, the question for us is whether the DocBook XSL supports
generating these links, and does so without using (forgive me) a very
expensive FO processor. A quick *find -exec grep* tells me our doc
set has about 10,500 olinks. No one is going to fix those manually.

* PDFs. Yeah, you can’t cross-ref from one PDF into a page or section
inside another PDF — or not without profound PDF-fu above my level.
There's more options than you ever thought possible. See the example

and the eight-page (four pages of actual content) "PDF Open Parameters"
