Hyperlinking a text element to internal bookmark

Is there a way to to create hyperlink on a text element to point to a internal bookmark in the report?

Creating a link to an internal bookmark is a little more work than a normal hyperlink because of the paginated viewer. I set up an example where I had a hyperlink table and a detail table. row["CUSTOMERNUMBER"] was my bookmark, as you'll see below. The viewer has a script that it calls to locate the bookmark and jump to it. This script won't work for a standard html output, so you have to catch any exception and try something else. This is what I put into my text control to make a hyperlink that worked in the viewer and html. This doesn't work for PDF. To do PDF, you should be able to check the outputFormat and simply create a href="#BookmarkValue" instead of the one below. Anyways, here is the text box content, which builds the bookmark link for the two html outputs:<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
<VALUE-OF format="HTML">"<a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href = \"javascript:try{catchBookmark('" + row["CUSTOMERNUMBER"] + "');}catch(e){ try{parent.catchBookmark('" + row["CUSTOMERNUMBER"] + "');}catch(e){window.location.hash = '#" + row["CUSTOMERNUMBER"] + "';};};\">" + row["CUSTOMERNAME"] + "</a>"</VALUE-OF>
</pre>
<br />
Let me know if you have questions.
