Link to specific page in pdf in MindManager Workaround

trying to use command line syntax directly in the link and mindmanager puts a prefix in the link that I cannot get rid of.

Workaround.  Create a desktop shortcut with the correct syntax then link that desktop shortcut to the topic in mindmanager.

Using the PDF Page Link in MindManager

Open Windows Explorer and browse to the shortcut.

Drag desktop shortcut to a topic in a mindmap to create the link.
