Opening of referenced PDF file

Hi Iliad People,

ordered my Iliad last week so I hope there are only 4 wks to go until delivery ;-) Should burn some candles on the iRex shrine.

I have a question and I hope someone of you could check this out:

I have seen a lot of screenshots showing the Iliad's file list. Having 6 or 8 files shown at once only with their file names is not suitable enough for me and so I thought of writing a script which creates a static HTML file based navigator containing thumbnails of the book covers and some metadata (author, title, maybe publisher). Most of my books are available only as a PDF file so my question is:

If you are in a HTML file an klick on a link to a PDF document, does the Iliad open the PDF document in the right viewer then?

I have my PDF documents in a folder structure and I really like the idea of having my USB stick updated with the newest documents and navigator version as soon I plug it in :-D

I hope, someone could try it out. I will share the script and a demo as soon I have my own Iliad and tested. Hope it will accept my 2gb USB stick :-D
