There are also URL templates where MapServer does substitutions in a URL using
the result from
a single feature query and does the redirection for you. Whether that is
appropriate here depends
on your needs.

Hello all,
I am researching my options for moving to a WMS and would like to know
if Mapserver is capable of handling hyperlinks that exists in my shape
files that I have created using Arcmap. My hyperlinks are pdfs
located on my server.
The short answer is yes. The detailed answer involves how you might want to do
that.
1. you can create a template to a query that has the hyperlink in it and even
use some javascript to then jump immediately to the link
2. you can use mapserver to generate an image map the makes the hyperlink active
3. you can do this in OpenLayers, via WFS or WMS get feature info, in addition
to probably a few other ways.
4. I'm sure others will have other ways they have done it.
