This cannot be achieved with XEP right now: all links are treated as Web URLs,
and open in a browser. For the target document to open in Acrobat, the link
must be encoded differently in the PDF code (as a  "remote go-to action").
It is not excessively difficult to implement, but only as an extension to XSL
FO: there is nothing in the standard syntax to permit linking method selection.
We consider this enhancement for some future release of XEP.

Best regards,
