Generally, instead, what I get is things that really have nothing to do with what I asked or how I want to do things(e.g., Ulikre's inserting macros(label) at the start... then saying it won't work. That is almost a straw man. I never said anything about inserting anything in to the source and I also never said that the solution has to be perfect for all possible tex documents)
Then you say things like, it can't be done because of X,Y,Z and use generalizations/analogies like an omelet can't be split.. which contradict facts. Now, I may not help the situation when I make claims that I have a "solution". But I do so out of ignorance and because it in my test case I got valid results. As someone that chooses to help me, you have to 1. Understand exactly what I'm trying to do 2. Try to explain to me why it can't work the way you think it can.
It is not your job, which I'm not saying you do to any degree or through negativity or arrogance, to dictate to me a negative solution and expect me to accept it when there is clearly evidence that that a positive solution exists. It then becomes your "job" to clearly show why the positive solution does not apply in my case. Of course, you'll have to forgive me for my ignorance because I assumed this would be an easy problem.
I could have explained things much better from the get go but I didn't realize this would open Pandoras box and waste "3 days" of my life to do something that is not a logical impossibility(it just seems an impossibility in TeX, which I call a flaw). Again, when I use just like syntex, it tells me that the mapping problem is doable, there for I look for a solution. Anyone that argues it isn't doable makes no sense to me and contracts the facts as I know it.
I'd also like to say, I do appreciate your help and time. I'm not trying to be an ass even if it comes off like that. I'm simply trying to solve a problem ;) I don't like being told something is impossible because no one knows what is truly impossible. Where there is a will there is a way. So I'm going to pull teeth anyone someone takes that side.
@AbstractDissonance not really, synctex (which I seem to remember I pointed at) is working at a different level and answering a different question As it is clearly a soluable question that may be what you should use, but it does not try to partition the input. But I (again) give up as you do not want to understand the tex flow, just assert that it is missing features. Hope you get something that works for you.

@DavidCarlisle I'd like to point out that you really don't know what you are talking about. Your mentality is simply backwards and wrong: Proof: tug.org/TUGboat/tb29-3/tb93laurens.pdf pdfsync attempts to do exactly what I have been asking for and obviously solves the problem more or less... so all the BS about impossibility, omelets, I don't know what I'm talking about is all in your head. You can be a naysayer all you want, doesn't prove squat.
