Can a web link in a PDF open to a new browser window?

I've tried the html code I use when I specify that a link should open in a new window on an HTML document (target=_blank, target="_new"), but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is there any way to specify that a web link in a PDF document should open in a new window? We have a document with a handful of links to other sites, etc., and we're concerned our rather low-tech site users will get lost and not be able to find their way back to the PDF. It's also a bit problematic that if they DO scroll back, they end up back at the beginning of the PDF. It would seem launching the link in a new window would be the idea solution... if there is a way to do that?

I'm working in Acrobat 5.0.

Thanks!
Chrissy
