Is it possible to embed links into a PDF or a similar file format?

ok this sounds weird and my not be possible, but is there a way I can set up basically a pdf document with links to video files stored in the cloud, or youtube maybe with resizeable thumbnails? or just make a photo clickable to the link? Id love it to be animateable or have some effect when you click on it but i know that may not be possible. I just want to be able to have a file that I could send like that and I don't want to buy a domain and make a website for it. If I need to provide more information just let me know!

Thank you so much!

Yes, PDFs can support weblinks.  I use foxit, and it is one of the main options along the top tool bar.  I don't know about other PDF writer programs.

It must be true, I read it on the internet...

if LaTeX is your fancy for making PDF's, the hyperref package works perfectly for me.
