David: I believe that links on CD-ROM are handled using RockRidge extensions, which basically has plain text files named "00_TRANS.TBL" in each directory which contains links to other files on the CD. I don't know all the details and specifics, but you should probably consult your CD recording software documentation to see if it will generate them for your automagically. You may also want to take a look at the FreeBSD CD's themselves, as they are ISO9660 with the RockRidge Extension.
