That bug is about showing informations we already have.
The resolution of this bug might include also showing the page labels in "go to
page" dialogs, bottom bar and consequently also the thumbnail list (the TOC has
them already). I don't see how this and that bug are that different.

In every PDF there are always labels, which in most of the cases are strings
equal to the 1..N page number.

Again, this is nonsense, and will not be done. I understand this is your pet
wish and you want it, but you are assuming things that simply do not hold.

If for "link" you rather mean "go", you are correct.
