Nothing has changed in lilypond 2.18.2-1, you have to configure your system to 
handle the textedit links lilypond inserts in the pdf.

Be aware of the fact that lilypond-invoke-editor, the script that handles 
textedit links in lilypond, is insecure.
The problem has been fixed in recent versions of lilypond.
