With \url.

I presume you mean writing a package, and installing into the 'doc' 
subdirectory (which is what by default happens for anything in the 
inst/doc subdirectory _of the package sources_).  That would need 
\url{"../doc/something.pdf"}.

(There are extensions other than packages, which is why the manual is 
called 'Writing R Extensions.)
