unfortunately paragraph supports
<link> tags </link>

link attributes
	fontName
	fontSize
	textColor
	backColor
	href

The href can be a URI or can have a special scheme

document: is a link to the current document
pdf: is a link to another pdf document.

Whether it's correct to use html element names in PDF is another matter. The 
a(anchor) tag has two meanings link and target; I suppose if people wanted it we 
could actually have a as an alias for link.
