Linking to attachments already in a pdf

Hello

I am working with Acrobat Pro X, Windows XP.

I have an illustration in a .pdf document which is basic version of an attachment (which itself is a .pdf).

How do I create a link on the illustration that opens up the attachment from my pdf and not my computer/website/whatever.

Is this possible?

    Create the link, select as its action "Go to a page view".

    You will be presented with a floating window and a "Set Link" button. Now

    open the attachment, go to where you want to link to, and then press

    that button.

    The link will point to the attached file.

    Be aware that this only works with PDF files, though. You can't link to a

    non-PDF file.

    I was nearly there, but not quite.
