Basically yes.  But I now think again that it should be a hook rather
then a variable.  This is more general and could actually be useful.
E.g. clicking on a reference in the literature could jump to the .bib
file (instead it of the .bbl one) orthogonal to the region handling.

the pdf-sync functions/variables.
