Many thanks for your reply, dr. Hans van der Meer.
Sorry, but I’m afraid I don’t see the way of generating an URL to a
non-external document in your code.
After all, the document is embedded in the PDF document itself.

Re: [NTG-context] linking to an external PDF file
I am embedding links to an UR in my documents. Although it is used in
XML-documents, you might be able to use the gist of this code that generates a
clickable link. Perhaps you find it useful.

timeout in seconds

-- We have http to search for.

BTW if you don’t know a reference name (from a foreign PDF), you can link to
the page like this:
\goto{TEST}[../../somepdffile::page(23)]
i.e. it works even with paths.
