PDF's link annotation does not work in version 3.30.2
In the PDF's specification, a link annotation (section 12.5.6.6), though a sub-type of an annotation, can have a Goto action (section 12.6.4.2) which jumps to a destination (section 12.3.2). It seems that Evince does not open such a link, at least when a destination is a named destination (section 12.3.2.3) in the example PDF file shown below.
Evince version: 3.30.2
Example PDF link: https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/alphago/AlphaGoNaturePaper.pdf
It is not a bug, but an incomplete implementation of the PDF specification.
Thank you.
