Are you aware of Keith Marshall's pdfmark macro package?  It's available
under contrib in recent groff versions.  It lets you create a link in
PDF files, amongst other things.  I'd guess if you're viewing

    file:///home/andre/man/man3/malloc.pdf

and it has a link to ../man1/vgrind.pdf then that would work?

Cheers,


Ralph.
