That would also be my preferred approach. I've just added <a 
xlink:href></a> support to the
Python SVG export in git master:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/commit/?id=8bd941996708190c9cda2b8858942ad12167a57c

It uses the "url" meta property.
In case "git master" does not mean anything to you: The functionality 
will be included in Dia 0.98.

Here's a simple sample (requires a browser that supports SVG):
