point & click on WinXP via editor

[David Griffel]

Lilypond 2.9.12 on windows produces a .pdf file with point-and-click 
information, very useful.  Adobe reader shows a tooltip when mouse is 
over a notehead or text, giving the line/column of the relevant bit of 
the source file.  I haven't learnt how to configure it to open the 
editor at that point of the file - but that's not crucial given the 
tooltip.  My problem is ...

The tooltips appear if the .pdf is opened from an Explorer window, but 
not when Adobe Reader is opened via an editor such as CrimsonEditor or 
Textpad (using a user-configured menu item to open an application). 
What I get when using an editor is the Acrobat Reader cursor changing to 
a pointing finger, indicating a link, but if I click I get a message 
"The plug-in required by this 'URI' action is not available. 
Information about the missing plug-in may be available on Adobe's Web 
site."  I looked on the website, didn't find anything.

I do get the tooltips when invoking Acrobat Reader from an editor which 
allows sending DDE messages to applications.  But that editor 
(TeXnicCenter) doesn't support utf-8, and has other deficiencies for 
lilypond use (it was designed specifically for Latex).

Has anyone got point-and-click to work using an editor like Crimson or 
Textpad?
