It's ON out of the box (adding it does nothing to the Preview PDF, I 
still get a hand-icon, but no working links; adding \pointAndClickOff 
removes the hand-icon behaviour in Preview).
As I don't know if hyperlinking was working before I wouldn't call it a 
bug yet, but it would be nice if Lilypond hyperlinking would work 
out-of-the-box for not-so-computer-savvy users. (Especially since the 
'Trial.ly' mentions to 'Click one of the noteheads' which makes me 
assume that it worked in the past)
