Map IDs to Destinations in PDF output - Possible?

I've searched for whether this can be done from Robohelp but all my queries are matching the FM Named Destinations to PDF, which I know how to use, but is not the particular goal.  It seems there should be a way to convert MapIDs in RH to Destinations in PDF but I have not found anything that indicate the Printed Doc Single Source workflow supports this. I'm probably missing something obvious. 😕😕

Doable?

I'm not aware of a way to do this. As far as I know, the CSH information

is lost when you create Printed Documentation.

But I hope Peter jumps in to prove me wrong.

Kind regards,

Willam

Map IDs are linked to topics via the map and alias files which go nowhere near any print output. I assume the term "Destinations" is referring to what would be bookmarks in Word or PDF, which are a different beast.

As Peter states the mapids don't go near printed output, but you can link to a PDF bookmark. Maybe that would provide an alternative solution:
