I don't know of a way to convert DocBook to plain LaTeX.  Jadetex is just
a macro package on top of LaTeX in the same way as LaTeX is a macro
package on top of TeX.  That means what you have in mind should probably
work.

However, there's also pdfjadetex, which is a macro package on top of
pdflatex, which is a macro package on top of pdftex, which does all the
linking for you.

There are also a number of other ways to create PDF from DocBook,
including fot2pdf (first make a FOT from DocBook SGML) and PassiveTeX
(which goes through XML).  Endless room for experimentation for interested
parties. ;-)
