Currently, there is no support for links in SVG. There are serious technical
issues to prevent its easy implementation: the concept of linking is just
too different in SVG and in PDF/PostScript, and full implementation
is impossible (e.g one cannot have a non-rectangular hot area in PDF).

It looks very appealing indeed. We will see how it can be done; but in any
case, it is not going to appear soon - too many things have to be rearranged
inside XEP.
