mmm, thanks, I got quite good grip from this but one thing
still remains unclear.

Is it possible at all to create internal link in platypus
environment? I know that canvas supports it but canvas is
not available in platypus context and not even always
in flowables.

I'd skimmed through all docs and most examples, tried few
combinations without luck :-/ Googled the same question too
but it did'nt have an answer.

After all mess in the Web, I'd rather see very strict
and clean XML/XHTML approach to everything. For the question
of should it be a <link> or <a> I'd rather see same 
syntax, no need to switch context in head when programming
with reportlab or web.

Aliases in other hand would create more alternative solutions
and thus make things more confusing for newbies.
 
BR,
