Thanks for the reply Daterson! This could be a nice new feature for Adobe Reader, but our reports are cross format, so this solution should work in HTML as much as it does in PDF.

I think this problem stems from the fact that launching a different application from a hyperlink in PDF is neither secure, nor cross platform. Therefore, I think the support for such an action doesn't exist in PDF, but also in other formats, which we would also like to support.

If anyone comes across a clever idea or technique for this problem, I would love to hear it!
