Comment 2 Geoff Phillips 2023-09-22 23:45:44 UTC 
Great program but this issue ("wish") is a fairly major annoyance/restriction. I urge the developers to fix this so clicking on a hyperlink to another pdf opens an new tab whilst keeping the original document open/avialable in its own tab. I appreciate this may be a lot of work. I would love to use Okular to present at an upcoming conference, but cannot because of this its current behaviour (my presentation file has lots of hyperlinks to othet pdf files).
