If you hold the CTRL key while selecting a link, the document will 
open in a new window. I have a document that I use as navigation 
window for other PDFs, and I have this text at the beginning of the 
page:

    Note: The default Acrobat Reader setting is to keep only one
    document open at a time. Therefore, when you select a document
    from below, this list of Application Notes may be replaced by
    the new document. If you would like to keep this list open when
    opening the new document, you can override this setting by
    holding the CTRL key when you select the link, or by clearing
    the "Open Cross-doc Links in Same Window" check box in the File
    | Preferences | General menu of Acrobat Reader.
