I am interested in a solution to this problem too.

I am required to submit my thesis chapter-wise, with
a (hyper-) table of contents for the whole work.
Maybe also links between different chapters should work
(as external links), as they are working, as if the 
whole thesis was one file. --- The university library
suggests to do this manually with the destiller from Adobe.
Boring.

So: Is there a solution of this problem existing somewhere
already?
