Short cut to Text Fields properties

Question

I have a Form with multiple fields used as a patients file, one of the fields is called patients file No, The Electronic Medical Record we are using is a Web based so each patient has a unique URL and ID. Before we used to do it on paper and now changed to paperless work environment. The Idea is to have a ready PDF for each patients and to embed the URL of his EMR to the PDF to save time. what I am doing is putting the file number of the patient in the text field and then go the Prepare Form then right click on the text field and on the Properties will go to Actions tab from select an action I choose Open a web link and then place the web link.

As you can see its a long process and should be done for more than 4000 patients. my question is : is there any way to have short cut to go directly to Open a wb link ? maybe through Action Wizard ?

So you have some unique code in your file and you want to create a link over that code that points to a specific URL?

If so, this task can be automated using a script or a stand-alone application.

For example, see this tool I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Create Custom Links from Text
