Is it possible & would it be with Javascript to Link something in a PDF that opens another PDF and goes to a specific page or if its a package/portfolio to a specific document?

If you're trying to link into a specific page of an entirely different non-Portfolio PDF, then you can simply add the variable to the URL, such as:-

"http://www.samples.web/document.pdf#page=2"

See the Acrobat help files for the full list of variables you can use - including things like setting a specific zoom, view, etc.

Within a Portfolio you can create links to other locations (pages in any of the files) by defining a page view - create the link as a "go to page view" and when prompted, navigate to the destination and click OK.

To navigate directly into a Portfolio from "outside" you can create a named destination in Acro Pro and use the above URL-style method to get there.
