Finally found a free PDF viewer that supports hyperlinks! Qoppa Viewer is a free PDF viewing app that supports hyperlinks. They also have an SDK (not free) that could be helpful in building this functionality into an app. Just wanted to update this for other people that find this question in the future.

I had the same problem, after hacking my way through MuPDF for a month and not getting any features I want, including hyperlinks, highlights and annotations. I checked for using 3rd party free apps.

Conclusion: I do not have time and money to create or improve a library to my wishes, and I haven't found any 3rd party free apps.

I use Repligo reader now because it fits all my wishes and it works like a charm.

Maybe next year :)
