AFAIK that's not that easy.  PostScript doesn't know about hyperlinks
at all, but there is an operator called "pdfmark" which allows you to
insert PDF code into a ps file.  It is ignored by your printer, but it
is evaluated by ps2pdf.  I assume that html2ps makes use of it.

What you have to do is to write a program which modifies the argument
of pdfmark accordingly.  But this requires some knowledge about PDF.
