It would be easy to do this in xmltex (passivetex) as the underlying
pdflatex system supports access to writing javascript functions in the
resulting pdf. You'd just need to define an extension element, and add
an xmltex template mapping that element to the appropriate commands.
typing "pdflatex javascript" into google turned up this which might form a
starting point on the TeX side.
