Controlling PDF link type produced from xref

Exploring in FM9 (trial)

When making a book (with components) from xml files, xrefs come in fine. But, when I generate a PDF from the documents, the hypertext associated insists on "Go to URL" as the appropriate action, and so opens the linked document in a web browser rather than Acro Reader.

I'm not finding where to set this so Open Document would be the default.

xrefs do identify the pdf in the href, and do declare type as pdf and scope as external.

Anyone know or can provide hints?

Thanks
Bruce

I think I answered my own question. FM9 allows attaching a hyperlink marker to xrefs, and it can be set there. Even appears to work.
