Actually, Panurge was asking for something a bit simpler. He just wanted a way to correlate the text of an ebook to what page it originally came from in the scanned book. You see the problem of citing a reference in the conventional manner, which uses page numbers.

Going further and being able to reference any text or object in an ebook in a standard manner might be even better for some purposes.

The real issue is how to do any of this without having extra text or markup visible to the casual reader? As I suggested in my previous comments, using javascript would make this a lot easier, but ebook readers don't usually have that capability.
