If this can be done, methinks one would need to hook the MouseHover Event.

I may be misreading your request, but linking to a page in a pdf has nothing to do with tooltips. If you can't get the a hyperlink to work, you won't be able to get a tooltip to work. Also, tooltips are not interactive. They're read-only. Hyperlinks can open more than just a webpage. They can open to a bookmark on the webpage. You need to find out if you the pdf format allows linking to a page number or bookmark. I suspect it does, because most pdf readers can open the file to the last page you were on when you last viewed the file. I know my iPhone can. Visit Adobe.com and you should be able to get the info you need to create the proper hyperlink.

Perhaps I should ask, what is "limited" about hyperlinks that you think you can accomplish with hovering? There are a few apps on Autodesk Exchange that do tooltips. Some also come with the source code.

Firstly, I'd like to say that I agree with Ed's comments.

Second, only as you specifically asked for an example:

This document gives you what you need to link to a spot in a pdf.
