Is there a way to create a .pdf document that is uploaded to box, and a user would open this document and this document would have URL links to folders within Box.  With folder permissions setup for the user who is clicking the URL to one of the clicked URL’s folder.  It looks like at the Box preview it doesnt allow you to URL click.  In simple terms I would like to do this “I would like to know is it possible to create a document that has URLS that connect to other folders within my box tenant, or within my folder structure?”

Could you use a Hub for this?  That would allow you to consolidate a set of folders and documents that may exist in different parts of the overall folder structure.

Alternately, you can create bookmarks in folders.  So, instead of a document containing a bunch of links, you can have a Box folder that contains a list of URL bookmarks.
