Word Document - Relative paths Hyperlinking

I need to hyperlink several references within a word document, to open a specific file that is located within the sub folder of the source word document.

When opening the document additional parameters need to be passed to open the document on specific page, I can do this with an absolute hyperlink, however the location of the document will change.

For example the current location of the MS Word file is C:\Temp and the linked document is located in C:\Temp\Document.
Absolute Hyperlink = "file:///C:/temp/document/abc.pdf"

Can this be done using a relative path?
