There isn't (yet?). The first author of the teletext interface wanted to 
toggle the various teletext pages with the 'T' key but never got around to 
it. I couldn't figure out how to get the list of the teletext pages stored in 
the recording so I only fixed it so it would work on SAA7134 cards and not do 
buffer overruns. Any further action in this area would be very much 
appreciated :)

I think with the latest landmarks in the OSD a Teletext menu where you pick 
and choose from the embedded pages would be the best solution, but I haven't 
got the coding skills to implement that....
