Q: 

How to create hyperlink within PDF (which is opened in browser) which will open in a new tab/window

Hi!

I generate some PDF via XSLT transformation (FOP) from XML. The PDF file is opened in the browser. If it contains any hyperlink, that hyperlink is supposed to open in a new browser tab/window. I'm quite not sure if it is even possible. Any insights?

A: 

You could try show-destination property. It's mentioned on some sites but I couldn't get it to work. I believe it also depends on which Fo Processor you're using, your browser settings and the PDF reader.

Yep, I found that too. We use Apache FOP which is apparently still not compliant with show-destination property. According to http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-show-destination there is another problem inside Adobe's browser plugin.I guess I will have to explain it to the customer :)
