I agree that today's plug-in api's are inadequate and am working
to get this fixed. You can however make anchors within plugins
work. The plugin is passed mouse events and can in turn call
back to the browser to display a URL. This is enough to allow
anchor's within math, and math in text in math, with the
burden placed on the plugin.
