Open PDF links in new browser tab

[laurenm1nk]

I am embedding links into my PDF via Acrobat. I want to know if there is a way to customize the links within a PDF so that when the user views the PDF while in a browser, the links will open up in a new tab. Is there any javascript I can insert or another route I can take? Currently, when you click on a link in the PDF while viewing in a browser, the link opens up in the same window and you lose your place (which is a poor user experience.)

You can use this code, but it might not work in all browsers:

app.launchUrl("http://www.adobe.com", true);

Over a year since this was posted, and sadly it does not appear to be corrected yet!  I'm using the "previous view" (..or 'go back'..) but that's nuts.

Anyone aware of a fix yet?
