Great. I have now a patch for xournal that supports page numbers from
the command line:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2924825&group_id=163434&atid=827735
The format is --page=%p or -p %p
It is likely to make it into xournal. I am now adding an option to use
org-protocol to create the link from xournal. more later.

%s will be replaced by the file name.
%p will be replaced by the page number.
Example:
evince %s -p %p
