External Links always go to new doc Home page

[mdelmarter]

Hi,

When linking documents the link will always take you to the home page of the extgrnal document. However when opening a PDB in isolation it will default to the last location / page you were on.

It would be very handy if there was some way to open a document via a link and have it still go to the last location / page. My suggestion is that any link to just the document should do this - and any link to a specific page in a document should open that page.

eg Doc1/ opens last location in Doc1.
eg Doc1/index.htm goes to home page.

What do you think? Or is there another way to achieve this?

If a link does not specify a specific target in the document, then it goes to the top of the document. That is the current specified behavior rather than a bug. The presumption for this behavior is that document publishers want to link to a particular document in the same way that a web link can refer to a website using the top level URL of the website.

The behavior you are looking for would be a feature request.
