What do you mean "work" and "not work"?

Do you what to open a file by clicking on text in viewer? What application
should be used to open a file? Take a look on page I linked in previous
message.

What "PDF Viewer"?

For example, I use different viewers: mupdf, zathura-pdf-mupdf (zathura with
mupdf pdf backend), okular, pdf-tools (emacs major mode). Some of application
(okular, for example) could preview many file types (ps, pdf, odt), while
other can't do that. It is up to application what to do (or actually, PDF
backend) on link.

Please see the page about '\goto' command, it was written for a reason!
