New acrobat reader feature - multiple tab view for a single document

PDF documents having multiple links are just like webpages. It will be a good idea if I can open a link in a new view (just like a new tab on IE or Mozilla). I frequently need to compare multiple pages from the same document, Multiple tab feature will enable users to quickly switch between 5-6 pages rather than going back/forward in the document.
 
I can do the same thing by opening two or more copies of the same document, but if this is handled internally by acrobat reader, it will consume less memory and doesn't clutter the windows taskbar. Moreover, opening multiple copies of a very large document (having hundreds of pages) makes the system very slow and unusable.
 
Hoping to see this feature implemented soon.

Adobe Acrobat X and Adobe Reader X use a single document interface (SDI) window system so only one file is shown in each application window. Although a number of users have requested an MDI system, no plans have been announced to adopt it.
