It will be printed out. It should also give you more information about
whether a link
is named than swfdump would:

VERBOSE storing "Named" link to "end"

That function actually only exists for historical reasons, and will
only be executed if
you insert a link into a PDF that starts with "http://pdf2swf";. It can
be used to set
a root level variable "subtitle" via ActionScript, when the mouse is
hovering over them.

On the other hand, the code you're presumably looking for is in
CharOutputDev.cc, around line 1050:

       case actionNamed: {
            type = "Named";

What are you using named links for, btw.? I haven't dealt with them
for almost a decade.
