Link across two pages is visually broken (includes header/footer)

See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/330669 for a MWE, a result (picture) and a workaround.

When a link spans across pages, page header and footer also become part of this link, which looks broken.

Thanks for posting that here. I can't promise an immediate fix, but at least with an open issue, it won't get lost.

There is imho nothing hyperref can do here. The problem is that fancyhdr adds a box around the footer (and the header). This means that now the footer has the same (or greater) box nesting level as the main text body and the lowlevel primitive \pdfstartlink will include the footer in the link. With xetex you could interrupt the link in the footer, but nothing similar exists for pdftex or luatex.

This problem is resolved in a current texlive if the pdf management is loaded. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/578405/2388
