Earlier in text:

<a name="header1">Header 1</a>

<a name="header2">Header 2</a>

further down...

<ol>
<li><a href="#header1">item one</a></li>
<li><a href="#header2">item two</a></li>
</ol>

If you're making an EPUB book, every tag must be closed, or self-closed.
idiotprogrammer had the syntax right, but the example did not work (for IDPF specs).

<img src="image1.jpg" id="image0001" title="this is self-closed" />

Here's a solution which does what you need:

<ol>
<a href="#"><li></li></a>
<a href="#"><li></li></a>
</ol>

(I tried putting a non-breaking space there, but it underlined the space. You could probably use css to set text-decoration: none for the a element.)

If you want the links to go anywhere, you could replace "#" with an anchor URL.

Update: Ahh, I see that the content model doesn't allow A tag underneath OL. So my answer is wrong.
