Follow-up Comment #19:
I think Deri's work has fulfilled this goal.
From "NEWS" for the forthcoming _groff_ 1.25:
* The s (ms) macro package now supports PDF features. Pass groff (or
troff) the command-line option `-r PDFFEAT=1` to enable them when
used with the "pdf" output device ("-T pdf").
The PDF thus produced shows an overview bookmark panel or navigation
pane (viewer application support allowing); the viewer's interface to
document properties includes the document title and author(s), if
specified by the `TL` and `AU` macros, respectively; if the document
calls the package's `TC` macro, the table of contents entries it
produces are hyperlinked to navigate the document (even if it does
not use the `XN` macro introduced in groff 1.23.0); and if the
document calls `RP` to configure a cover page, the table of contents
relocates to follow it.
The new macros `XM` and `XR` respectively anchor a location within
the document and format text that hyperlinks to it, respectively.
These changes were inspired by Keith Marshall's "spdf.tmac" which was
withdrawn from groff in 1.24.0, but continues to be developed at:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/groff-pdfmark/
...though groff ms(7) differs in some respects. Our objective is to
enable and support PDF features in any ms document without requiring
its author to update its content.
We welcome feedback on these extensions to the package's macro
interface. We expect to finalize these changes in a future release,
and effectively default `PDFFEAT` "on". Thanks to Deri James.
