OK I tried it and from looking at the error, the problem is that you call a 
cl-pdf function during the text compilation but the text compilation is like 
a macro in Common Lisp, it is run at a macro-expansion time before the code 
is executed. So your add-link is run during the text compilation but that 
not when you generate the pdf, it's too early and not inside a pdf 
with-page. So here you have to use a user-drawn box or make your own kind of 
box in which you can call your function. BTW I think that add-link works 
with the page coordonates not with the scaled/translated ones so maybe it's 
not so simple.
