Unfortunately, I don’t think you can at the moment - the POV Ray file
creator doesn’t seem to have the function to draw the lines using the
method the H-bond display engine uses.
If you don’t have a prohibitively large number of them, and can edit
and rerun the POV files yourself, you could try finding the atoms you
want to put the bonds between and try adding a macro like the one
below to the file to draw the hydrogen bonds in.
#macro dashedLine(_point1,_point2)
#declare dashLength = 0.05;
#declare lineRadius = 0.005;
#declare currentDashEnd = _point1;
#declare currentDashStart = <0,0,0>;
#declare lineDirection = vnormalize(_point2 - _point1);
#while (vlength(currentDashEnd - _point1) < vlength(_point2 - _point1))
#declare currentDashStart = currentDashEnd + (lineDirection * dashLength);
#declare currentDashEnd = currentDashEnd + (lineDirection * (dashLength*2));
cylinder{currentDashStart, currentDashEnd, lineRadius
pigment { rgb <1,1,0.5> }
finish { ambient 0.7 }
}
#end
#end
To be used as:
dashedLine(<1.0,0.5,0.5> , <5.0, 0.8, 1.0>)
with the positions of your two atoms in the POV file.
Sorry for the bad news,

Dear Avogadro Users!
How I can draw H-bonds in POV-Ray exported images. In my display the
H-bond is shown but at the povray image is missing.
Thanks
Attila
