Hmm. jade produces TeX for use in conjunction with a special
macroset, jadetex. I do not think this macroset supports the advanced
PDF features you so skillfully point out, though it should. Since it
is not straight LaTeX, I don't think you can just shove hyperref in
there and have it work, but I'm not sure.
This needs further investigation. I *know* for a fact that the PDF
produced does not contain hyperlinking functionality. Therefore, this
message is a wishlist bugreport against jadetex. I don't think the
package is actively maintained, but someone should talk to the
upstream maintainer.
