I'm also interested in this.  I noticed that the page up/down links make a call to V_NS_.sendRequest(new CCognosViewerRequest('nextPage')) for example.  Does anyone know if CCognosViewerRequest can take a page number as an argument?

From RS User Guide:
"When reports are run interactively, more than one HTML page may be generated, and a bookmark works only if the target exists in the page currently being viewed."

So you can't link from one named page to another. :(

If you report output is HTML, It retrieves data in "page on demand" format.
You CANNOT navigate to some particular page if you output is HTML.

you need to run the report in PDF to have this functionality.
