Chrome default pdf viewer - links in bookmarks to external pdf files do not work

Reported by cindy.sa...@gmail.com, Jun 7 2016

Issue description

This is similar to  issue 581290  except that I need links in bookmarks or in tables of contents that open external .pdf files to work. We have thousands of documents with multiple links to external .pdf files that work with Adobe Reader or Acrobat as long as Adobe runs inside a browser.  Since Chrome no longer supports Adobe it is useless for our needs (or more importantly our thousands of clients' needs) if these internal links will not work.

An example is here http://gis.geosurv.gov.nl.ca/geofilePDFS/Batch12/014D_0273.pdf

You would have to view this in IE 11 or Firefox running Adobe plugin. I have to tell clients to use one of these rather than Chrome or Edge. Attached is a file showing the bookmark link properties. The path is relative to the location of the main file.

This is actually related to  bug 517713 , but for bookmarks instead of links. The bookmark in question is a launch action.
