I have exactly the same requirement:
want to link to a destination in another pdf, and have that opened in a new window, whether or not the user has set "Open cross-documents links in same window" in Adobe Reader.
According to
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf
"The following methods, if run from a document-level script, no longer affect the user preferences: ...
app.openInPlace"
Does that mean the user preference doesn't get changed, or the user preference overrides the document-level script?
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/ask_an_expert/questions/view/69/
shows how to open a pdf in a new window, but not how to open it to a particular destination.

The "openInPlace" property when executed from a document context changes the property for that document only, i.e. it overrides the user preference. Haven't tested it but that's what the documentation means.
What do you mean by "Open it to a particular destination"? It opens a PDF in a new Acrobat window.

What I mean is I want a link to not just open another document (in a new window), but open it showing a particular point in the document.So, for example, click on one link, and you see the top of page 32 in the other document, while another link takes you straight to a paragraph halfway down page 89.
