[JS CS4 CS5] Setting preferences for hyperlink properties

Question

This is not, strictly speaking, a scripting question, but it's possible that scripting may be the only way to get this accomplished.
I want all new hyperlinks created by InDesign and InCopy users to have a certain set of properties, namely:
var DEFAULT_HYPERLINK_PROPERTIES = {
        borderColor: [183, 27, 23],  // Burgundy, roughly.
        borderStyle: HyperlinkAppearanceStyle.DASHED,
        width: HyperlinkAppearanceWidth.THIN,
        visible: true,
I can't seem to find any preference that I can set that will allow me to do this. I have to do it manually, or by periodically setting the properties document- or application-wide with everyItem(). But that's not good enough. I need it to be the default.
Hyperlinks used to show up automatically as black rectangles for us, and now they show up invisible. So because I have personally witnessed some change in the default behavior, I feel sure there must be a preference I can set somewhere. But it's possible that was just the switchover from standard behavior in CS4 to standard behavior in CS5.
Any ideas?
