You should'n have any problem with PDFs made by you from source files
that are at the same path they were when you processed them to
generate that PDF.  Let's say, the link between the file
path+name/line/column and the small links that the PDF has in every
note, still exists.

However, this link breaks when you move the ly source file or the PDF.
 You can always process the file again and press the PDF preview icon
in lilypondtool.  That should suffice.

There is a very low chance that any PDF not made by you shows a proper
point-and-click behaviour even if you have the source code. Again, a
solution is at my previous paragraph.

Also, some PDFs are processed without those tiny links in it, by means
of the no-point-and-clik option, which you can enable for your own
documents.
