Rick: Does your solution work when the hyperlink is the goto type?

Shmuel,

When I follow a link to another file in the FM book, it usually does not
close the current file. Other times it does close the current file. Is
this a bug or a feature, and how do I disable closing the current file?
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 ).
