Sorry to ask what may be a really stupid question but I've no
understanding of LaTeX internals.  Isn't a "limitation of the
different ways to process files" another way of saying that there's a
bug in dvips?  If pdflatex can generate PDF files with links across
different lines (apparently by creating two different elements), why
cannot dvips do the same?
