   Something this smart may be able to take some sort of descriptor
   file combined with a dvi file and form the basis of a hypertext
   system. Hmm... idx, toc, and glo files could be integrated nicely.
   I guess the trick would be flagging portions of the dvi file...

The "xtex" previewer from Dirk Grunwald's SeeTeX package (FTPable from
foobar.cs.colorado.edu) already provides this feature.  The cross
references in the SeeTeX documentation show up surrounded by red
rectangles in xtex, and if you click within the rectangle, it warps
you to the correct page -- really neat.
