To me, that looks more like a limitation in PDF rather than the tool that is used to create the PDF – that is, hyperref allows you to create arbitrary links to be handled by your system, but the problem is that PDF does not work all that well when you want to reference a link within a given PDF.

If there was a reliable way to advise a PDF reader to ‘open document X and jump to reference Y’ and to specify both X and Y, then I am sure you would have no problem using hyperref to create a link to X#Y.
