Wouldn't it be simpler to insert the link in whatever document you're PDF-ing? Or is that still not working all the time in Acrobat?

I'm not having much luck with this. The problem is that the way you
configure a link in Acrobat to open a file is that you point to it.
Unfortunaly, you cannot then edit the link to add the #Bookmark onto
the link. Now, if Acrobat were smart enough to offer available
bookmarks when you point to the files, my job would be done.
