If by hypertext you mean links in the book, they are used all the time. You just have to point back to where it came from, since some older readers do not have a back button.
Avoiding page breaks can be a bit of a problem since the user can zoom to a large text size. You might succeed but leave big gaps of empty space since you have forced the whole paragraph onto the next page.
Sigil, the epub editor has buttons to provide both links and anchors. But you have to do them yourself. You could make the link text larger or color it differently or include the following and leading space, but the colors will not show up on a number of e-ink readers. Image maps don't work either.
Many many links can slow things down on e-ink readers as opposed to tablet computers.
If you must lay things out exactly, then a pdf might be the way to go. How much pdf internal links would be honored by a reader I don't know.
