Absolutely, and in the upcoming 4.5 release of GAP, this will be the case!

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a similar thing for the GAP 4.4 manual, so you will have to wait a bit longer. Or you could try out the GAP 4.5 beta release from our homepage (but you may want to wait for the upcoming third beta).

Since the GAP 4.4 documentation is not based on LaTeX but rather on (plain) TeX, using hyperref this way would not be possible anyway.
