Having links to an included file by LaTeX PdfPages

Question

How can you maintain the links in your pdf fileA which contains links to itself in the fileB which includes FileA?

FileA has internal links to itself. I include it to FileB by Pdfpages such that

This is in FileB

\usepackage[enable-survey]{pdfpages}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\includepdf[linktodoc=true, link=true]{fileA.pdf}

I have tested the following options unsuccessfully

linktodoc=true
link=true
thread=true

I am reading this tutorial.

Answer 1

I get the following response from the creator of Pdfpages, A. Matthias.

This is a feature that cannot be implemented on the macro level. It would have to be implemented in the pdftex, xetex, etc. code itself.

On CTAN you find a Java program called `pax' that can extract and reinsert some kind of links (but not all).

So there is work to be done in PDFpages.

Answer 2

According to the documentation you linked to, with the link option, you have to link to the inserted pages by their given link names - <filename>.<page number>. If you have a look at this demonstration, you can see some explicit examples of doing this, as well as using linktodoc functionality.
