Scribus follows the low-level implementation of links in PDF rather directly. This can be unintuitive if you're not familiar with how PDF works. [Note: I've been largely inactive with Scribus lately, so this could be outdated in that a better way might now be supported. I don't think so, though.] To create a PDF link in Scribus, you must create a frame around the region you wish to become active, then use the context menu to make that into a PDF annotation (PDF options -> is pdf annotation). Now use PDF Options -> annotation properties to set the link target. Note that if a frame is made into an annotation, the content of the frame is suppressed in PDF export. This will not be graphically indicated by Scribus - you'll see the "right" thing on screen, and a blank space in the resulting PDF. To get the expected result, use blank frames on top of the real content. Personally I think this is a pretty serious UI issue, but I'm not volunteering to fix it ;-) Support for in-text PDF links that follow content (akin to char styles) has been a wish-list item for a while. Hopefully it'll be able to piggy-back on Andreas and Riku's work on styles in 1.3.x - but for now AFAIK your best option is placing links with overlaid annotation frames. -- Craig Ringer
