I did find a reference to a docbook tag which *might* be useful, if we 
can figure out how to use it. See:

http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/olink.html

The TargetDocEnt parameter seems to be defined in filelist.sgml, but it 
isn't clear to me what the other parameters should be.
