It will probably take a lot of time, but at least I now have an idea of 
how it can be done.

All the information you need can be obtained from Ghostscript. It's easy 
enough to write a PostScript script which let Ghostscript spit out an XML 
representation of the outline or cross-references of a PDF file. The 
question is if XML is the right way of transferring the data, and how to 
get and process this data in KGhostView.

Greetings,
