Okay, here is a crazy idea. Maybe one can use hyperref and place \url{}
and/or \href{}{} macros in the org file. These will turn into clickable
links in the final PDF. In them place URLs that look like:
file:///path/to/foo.tex.orglink?line=42
And then use .mailcap (or whatever MIME config that xpdf/evince/etc
honors) to map the .orglink extension to a script that parses the URL
(does that full URL get passed?) and invokes emacs to open foo.tex at
line 42?
If that much can be made to work (big if!) I see one problem in that the
/path/to will break if the source is moved.
Chance of success: 10%
