[Tex/LaTex] How to make a link open multiple pages when clicked

hyperreflinksurls

I have to create a hyperlink which opens two links with one click.

Is it possible using LaTeX?

I'm using \href{<url>}{Open two links}.

That would be a web question, not a TeX one, I guess. You can't really cause your reader to open multiple pages at once. I think even if you can do that it can be categorized as suspicious behavior by any anti-virus software. :)

You may want to try using javascript to do this. I really don't think, it will work, but that's the only way I can think of. The other option is to use a web side solution (for example a webpage and pop-ups).

There is an option pdfnewwindow for the command \href. This option does not work with the command \url, but \url{URL} is actually equivalent to \href{URL}{\nolinkurl{URL}}.

This means that you can define a new command like this:

\newcommand{\urlNewWindow}[1]{\href[pdfnewwindow=true]{#1}{\nolinkurl{#1}}}

and then say

\urlNewWindow{URL}

The "next action" option can contain an array, the actions in it are then executed in order. Every action dictionary can also contain an /Next key, which means that you can even have a tree of actions. (The specifications says that PDF processors should "attempt to provide reasonable behaviour", which means if you confuse them too much it is your fault ;-)).

An array in PDF is built by using bracket [...]:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
  \href[%
    nextactionraw={%
    [
      <<%
        /Type/Action%
        /S/URI%
        /URI(https://example2.com/)%
      >>%
      <<%
        /Type/Action%
        /S/URI%
        /URI(https://example3.com/)%
      >>%    
     ] 
    }%
  ]{https://example1.com/}{Open my list}
\end{document}
