Please go through the similar discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/embedding-pdf-files-documents-inside-a-adobe-acrobat-pdf/td-p/4674928 and see if that works for you.

When a PDF is inserted/embedded into a Word document, Word creates a hyperlink back to the original PDF file that's stored somewhere on your computer, file server, or online storage area. It now acts like an ordinary static graphic in the Word.docx.

But that hyperlink is lost when the Word document is exported to PDF using either Adobe PDF Maker or the built-in Microsoft utility, File / Save As / PDF.

And that's what is expected. Other than opening the new PDF and creating a hyperlink on the now-figure/PDF, no, don't know any way around this.
