Linking to external documents

Hiya!
Here's what I'm looking to create: a Frame book which, when turned into
a PDF, contains links that open external documents when clicked.
Seems simple, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Tricky bits:
- the links to the external docs need to be relative (ie, of the form
Procedures/DDOC-00100-001.pdf rather than c:/My
Documents/Report/Procedures/DDOC-00100-001.pdf) so that I can send a zip
file containing the .pdf and its associated docs (which are held in
subfolders) to other people.
- the external docs are in all sorts of formats -- .pdf, .tif, .doc, etc.
So far I've tried several of the options in Special>Hyertext with no
luck (so far all the ones I try generate an error complaining that the
doc in question doesn't exist and that I should make sure it's a Frame
document ).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
Cheers,
