yeah, it's called forward and inverse search (it goes both ways, from emacs
to dvi viewer and back). i don't know if it's part of the standard latex
mode in emacs, but it is certainly integrated in auctex (which you should
be using anyway, if you use emacs to edit latex files).

and otherwise do a google search for "forward inverse search latex" or
something and you should get tons of info.
