First of all: links are mostly handeled by Apple's PDFKit. Moreover, PDF has many different types of links (and I don't just mean internal or external). For example, you can get different types of links depending in the package and/or precise command you use. Alos, are you running Tiger or Leopard? I know that PDFKit on Tiger cannot handle certain types of links. The various types of links work correctly for me (on Leopard).

Unfortunately simply left clicking on a link of any kind does nothing for me. I agree that would certainly be very logical :) Perhaps my installation of Skim is broken.
Could anyone confirm that left clicking jumps to an external link?

That's a variant of Skim's Snapshot feature, to have a static view of
a section of the PDF. It is not meant as a general "follow this link"
action.

uhmm, click the link perhaps, as in other viewers? And if you want to
go back, why not hit Back (cmd-[) after that?
