Can't we simply generate a pair of \label + \hypertarget when generating
.tex files in ox-latex? This way, we can make sure that labels in
Org-generated pdfs will be linkable from outside world.

I think that generating \hypertarget + converting .org file links to
.pdf links will already be a good improvement.

Using xr-hyper requires knowledge of external files we link to and thus
can only be used during publishing, where we have all the information
about multiple exported Org documents available.

It is indeed supported. But not with all the features HTML export
provides. Cross-references is one of the missing features in PDF
publishing.
