Enable link to (video) file in the published PDF

Enable link to (video) file in the published PDF

We are developing technical manuals using Arbortext 7.0, M020, published to .pdf and deployed (housed) on a Linux platform (i.e., not Windows)

 

We would like to be able to include links in the published pdfs that open and play a video file. 

 

A solution provided previously by PTC allowed us to open and play a video file from the published pdf via Windows, but when deployed in Linux tries to open a web page.

 

After further investigation of adding links to a pdf, I found that there are 3 types:  link to another page in the current PDF, link to a URL, and link to a file (open a file).   Arbortext has options for the first two - link to another page in the current PDF and link to a URL, but not the third option - open a file. 

 

I would like this third option to be available within Arbortext so that when published, the link will open the specified file.
