@maehw the correct way to handle this would be to allow the pdf viewer to launch applications through a standard desktop launcher interface and let those applications be confined or not depending on the system but this does require applications to change.

Having said that, I think the age where a random PDF document can link to an arbitrary application has passed through Windows XP era and was fairly spectacular disaster in terms of security.

Sadly we are in the early stages of this transition
