LinkAnnotation Destination PageNumber is always 0

Hi,

I notice in some PDF with LinkAnnotations pointing another page inside the document, the PageNumber property in LinkAnnotation.Destination attribute is always 0. Destination is implemented by XYZExplicitDestination.
Note the Action attribute is null.

How can I get the page pointed by the link annotation?

    foreach (var annotationIn in pdfPage.Annotations)
    {
        if (annotationIn is LinkAnnotation link)
        {
            if (link.Destination != null && link.Destination is XYZExplicitDestination xyzDestination)
            {
                var pageNumber = xyzDestination.PageNumber; // always 0. Note link.Destination.Page is null
            }
        }
    }
