The issue reported below has been resolved in Ver 10.3.0 build 386.
I appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the support and development team.
==============================================================================
Hello all,
The 'Browse for Link Target' dialog appears when setting up a link, but remains in the foreground until the target page has been selected and the button in the dialog is pressed or the named destination is double-clicked in the destination pane. However, I have found that if the windows are not tabbed but displayed independently, there is a problem when the dialog overlaps the window to which it is linked. Specifically, the 'Browse for Link Target' dialog hides behind the target window when the window becomes active after manipulating the linked window to specify the target page. In any case where you are setting up links between multiple documents to each other, you should run into this problem at some point.
As usual, I created a verification video with all settings initialized.
PDF-XChange Editor
In the first half of the video, a link is set up from the first page of 'Sample A.pdf' opened in the window on the left side of the screen, to the second page of 'Sample B.pdf' opened in the window on the right side of the screen. The dialog is displayed at the position of the window from which the link originates, so it is not hidden during the operation.

In the second half of the video, in reverse, a link is set up from the first page of 'Sample B.pdf' opened in the window on the right side of the screen, to second page of 'Sample A.pdf' opened in the window on the left side of the screen. Since the dialog is displayed at the position of the window to which it is linked, the dialog will be hidden behind the window when the window to which it is linked becomes active. The video pauses for 6 seconds at the exact point where the problem occurs, and the caption emphasizes that the 'Browse for Link Target' dialog is hidden behind. By clicking on the title bar of the window to which it is linked, the hidden dialog can be brought to the foreground.
If you perform the same operation in Acrobat, the dialog will always be brought to the foreground and the user will not be confused. For reference, here is a video of the exact same operation performed in Acrobat as was done in the PDF-XChange Editor.
In the bottom figure, the page to be linked is displayed on the screen, and all that remains is to press the button in the dialog, exactly the same situation as in the PDF-XChange Editor shown immediately above. Note, however, that in Acrobat, the 'Create Go to View' dialog is displayed in the foreground.
Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.
Best regards,
