Try including the text inset file at the end of the book. Then update the
book. (Use Print Selected Files to exclude this file from printouts or
creating PostScript for PDFs.)
Create the PDF in the normal way. The cross-references in the text inset
SHOULD act as hyperlinks if you do just what you are saying. Try posting
this problem to one of the framers lists.
