It is possible (without resorting to Frescobaldi).
But there doesn't seem to be a standard way to set it up.


The most direct point-and-click connection involves:

A: the pdf program sending the textedit URL
B: having a custom Windows 'URL Protocol' tell your editor
C: your editor going to the right place

This does not involve a browser.
You may need some scripting glue between B and C.


The first thing you need to do is stop trying with Adobe Reader.
It expects all URLs to be http. See my notes on this [ARnok.txt]

Try out Sumatra instead, and modify it as Arnold Theresius did:
