Yes, you can do it with a \url{} macro. Use a relative link, acting as
though the starting page is located in /library/AlgDesign/html/*. So
\url{../doc/AlgDesign.pdf}
should work from the same package,
\url{../../AlgDesign/doc/AlgDesign.pdf} from elsewhere. Please let me
know if this doesn't work, I haven't tested.
