Yes, you can use internal links in ePub files. Depending on which tool you use to generate your ePubs (I prefer Sigil), you can develop the individual internal files using HTML directly. So you can create a link with an <a href=""> tag just as you would in a webpage. This is often used in creating custom tables of contents, or links to footnotes.

To your edit: raw manually-edited ePub files are exactly the same in structure and syntax as HTML files (I'm assuming you're generating an archive of .xhtml files), so you can definitely include links just as you would when writing a webpage. If you want to link within the same page, you'll need the <a name="foo"> marker for the target, and then <a href="#foo"> for the link. To link to a different page, just include the page name as the target for the href instead.
