Hyperlinks not working in Preview
hyperlinks in preview not working
Mac mini, macOS 26.1
A properly formed hyperlink in a PDF document opened in Preview on Tahoe 26.2 works but not without Apple introducing a new, arseful dialog, instead of just directly opening that hyperlink in a new browser tab.
To avoid this annoying dialog, one must right-click on the hyperlink and choose Open Link. No apparent modifier keys used with a mouse click override this dialog appearance.
I have filed feedback with the macOS product team about this worthless new dialog.
The ability to apply a hyperlink annotation to a PDF ended with Preview in Snow Leopard.
