RE: [docbook] stylesheet changes??

[Switching to docbook-apps]

Let's say you use the <ulink/> with a file: protocol to specify your file,
as in:

<ulink url="file:document.pdf">PDF format</ulink>

The following XSLT template will create the output you want:

<xsl:template match="ulink[starts-with(@url,'file:')]">
 <object id="hhctrl" type="application/x-oleobject"
         classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11"
         codebase="hhctrl.ocx#Version=4,73,8412,0"
         width="100"
         height="100">
   <param name="Command" value="ShortCut"/>
   <param name="Button" value="Text:{.}"/>
   <param name="Item1" value=",{substring-after(@url,'file:')},"/>
 </object>
</xsl:template>
