FrameMaker hyperlinks have two variations: goto and open

The goto variation displays the target document in the current window
(closing the currently-displayed file); the open variation displays the
target document in a new window, leaving the current document open.

The goto/open behavior of hypertext markers generated automatically (eg in
TOC/IX) is controlled through the corresponding flow in the reference page,
eg: openObjectId $relfilename:$ObjectType $ObjectId

With respect to cross-references, the goto/open behavior is controlled
internally by the DViewOnlyXRef property (accessible through MIF).

If you press the Shift key when activating a link/cross-ref with
Ctrl-Alt/cross-ref (that is, Ctrl-Alt-Shift-click), the goto... is
interpreted as an open... action (and vice versa).

Notice that the goto/open variation only applies to links activated in
FrameMaker, and is not carried over to PDF interactivity (where all
links/cross-refs become goto, more info at
http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#10 ).

Clicking hyperlink closes source file?

[mkopen]

Hello all -

I forget who asked this question recently, but I don't remember reading an
answer: Does anyone know why sometimes when you click on a cross-file
cross-reference the source file closes and sometimes it does not close? 

MI want the source file of the link to stay open. Is there a setting somewhere
for that, or is 'close source file' a default that cannot be changed?

Cheers,
Mike
