Frescobaldi has its own viewer.  I have a hard trouble understanding
what you mean by "non-functioning of the as-delivered version".  The
point of point-and-click is that textedit:// links get embedded into the
PDF.  That certainly can and does work under Windows.

The question is how to make the PDF viewer do something, and the answer
for that depends on the PDF viewer.  It is not, as far as I can see,
related to the operating system.  The PDF viewer might delegate the URI
interpretation to some generic mechanism and/or it might have ways to
handle some forms itself when properly configured.
