Export a list of hyperlinks used in file with location

[Csh@nk]

I have a file with several hyperlinks imported from a Word document. Is there a ways to export a list of all the hyperlinks that includes the source, the destination (url, email, location) and the page the source appears on in the InDesign file? Something similar to the Hyperlinks panel with the destination viewable in a list. Exported file can be text or csv. I don't script so am not sure if this can be done or may already exist. Thanks in advance.

As noted in the link Mike posted, which contained an incomplete solution, hyperlinks can be a bit fickle and there can be lots of different kinds of hyperlinks in a given document, so I tried to encapsulate all of them below. Let me know if you encounter any bugs.  

//HyperlinkExporter.jsx
//Creates a 5-column, tab-delimited .txt file on your desktop called 
//hyperExporter.txt with hyperlink information
//"Null" will be reported for any invalid hyperlinks
//"PB" will be reported for page source items that are on the pasteboard

var main = function() {
    var doc = app.documents[0];
    if (!doc || !doc.isValid) { return; }
    var f = File("~/Desktop/hyperExporter.txt");
        f.encoding = "UTF-8";
        f.open("w");

    var hypers = doc.hyperlinks.everyItem().getElements();
    var hld, hls, arr;
    f.writeln("Hyperlink Name\tHyperlink Source Type\tHyperlink Source Page\tHyperlink Destination Type\tHyperlink Destination");
    for (var i = 0; i < hypers.length; i++) {
        arr = [];
        if (!hypers[i]) {
            f.writeln("null\tnull\tnull\tnull\tnull");
            continue;
        }
        if (!hypers[i].isValid) {
            f.writeln(hypers[i].name + "\tnull\tnull\tnull\tnull");
            continue;
        }
        arr.push(hypers[i].name);
        hls = hypers[i].source;
        getSourceInfo(hls, arr);
        hld = hypers[i].destination;
        getDestInfo(hld, arr);
