Yes, but I ask for not difficult solution. I can imagine it is possible to
obtain a reference to Page object that is needed for destination mark,
then to create dest obj with shifting and zooming, and after that to add
the obj dest number of it to  the Name list. It seems not so easy (e.g.
how to get Page obj number/or go throuhg the named objects?). Or am I
something missing?

If not I think it is cleaner solution enhanced \pdfdest
primitive (especially if similar zoom parameter is supported).
