as far as I know, there is no way to not use linkclick other than to hard code the long url
Select link text
click on link button
Link info tab: type in long link url ( just like any external url, you need to know the actual location in your site structure of the file, Ex:
http://winxweb.com/Portals/0/Docume...mydoc.pdf) Target tab: select "_blank"
