There's a pool of volunteers for LaTeX formatting, so someone will
certainly handle that step.

It's probably easiest to make a list of symbols and the corresponding
section names and optionally a snippet of the paragraph that should be
the target of the link. Section numbers like 5.2.3 and link anchors
like #l2h-342 are generated by LaTeX2HTML and not visible when you're
editing the source text.
