Unfortunately, since I don't write the Javascript manually, it's a bit
tougher to integrate something like this into the app.  However, once
the history listener is in place, I can change these to be anchor tags
of the type #reference_Rev_4:11 or something similar.  Clicks on a
reference of that type are processed by the history listener

Hovering essentially doesn't exist in the iPhone, but a popup is
probably the way to go.  There is plenty of support for those (like
the windows that pop-up in GMail if you select a contact from your
list).  Good suggestion!
