Yes, you can do it with a \url{} macro.  Use a relative link, acting as 
though the starting page is located in /library/AlgDesign/html/*.  So 
\url{../doc/AlgDesign.pdf}
should work from the same package, 
\url{../../AlgDesign/doc/AlgDesign.pdf} from elsewhere.  Please let me 
know if this doesn't work, I haven't tested.
