Hmmm...have you tried WebOOGL? Our implementation comes with a
full-featured interactive 3D viewer, bidirectionally connected to
Mosaic. It allows both teleport and embedding links from 3D to 3D,
as well as links from 3D to other MIME types such as HTML, and links
from HTML to 3D. See
http://www.geom.umn.edu/docs/weboogl/weboogl.html

Have you tried Cyberview? It does exactly this, minus the linking.
Even better, you don't have to use a control panel to change the
viewpoint. Just click where you want to look on the object(s). See

It wouldn't be hard to add WebOOGL support to Cyberview to allow
linking.
