I don't think that's a good idea: it doesn't do the right thing. TOC usually comes after book prelims, so any earlier link would be found. That means: links on title page verso (typically URL to publisher), link to author's home page (often on these pre-title pages with 'other books by Xxxx'), and perhaps even in other prelim matter, such as introduction written by someone else than the author. Too much can go wrong here, and when it fails the ordinary user is more or less lost. (Restricting it only to links within the document would be technically possible, but too much of a hack.)
The right thing here is for the PDF document to include bookmarks, and for the PDF reader to display those bookmarks.
