Short answer: It is not possible in a cross-plattform, guaranteed-to-work way.
Long answer: Hyperlinks in a PDF are different from Hyperlinks in HTML. PDF was not designed to be viewed as part of a browsing experience. Hence there is no option available for PDF Hyperlinks to open them in a new tab, because PDF does not know about the concept of tabs.
There is some discussion in Adobe’s forums about it, which boils down to „not directly possible, but you could embed JavaScript in the PDF to do it“. They give an EPS file as example:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 100 100
%%EndProlog
[ /Rect [ 0 0 100 100 ]
/Action << /Subtype /JavaScript /JS (app.launchURL\("PLACE-YOUR-URL-HERE", true\);) >>
/Subtype /Link
/ANN pdfmark
%%EOF
Now before you try and get this EPS file embedded in your PDF, be aware that Chrome’s PDF viewer has very little support for embedded JavaScript, so it is not guaranteed to work. It may also issue a warning to the User that there is JavaScript code going to be executed if they click on it. I would say it isn’t worth the hassle.
