I have used Mobipocket Creator to add hyperlinks using it's Table of Contents section. The external TOC file it creates can then be used (merged in) and edited to strip all but the headings to remain in the TOC. It's a very powerful resource to add to ones toolset. The exact syntax I used is in the screenshot attached below.
The side-effect is that all the <a name>'s inserted can be then be referenced from within the ebook. That may have to be done by hand (I semi-automated this) but half the task was done, the insertion of the <a name> (or <a id>) and assigment of unique id labels.
This was the technique I used to add all those new hyperlinks to the Webster's Dictionary 1913 v2.0. (A version 2.1 with minor improvements will be uploaded soon
).
