Attributes (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from metadata, pointer)
targets specifies the identifiers of the elements or passages to be linked or associated.
Datatype: IDREFS

Example 






Note



This element should only be used to encode associations
not otherwise provided for by more specific elements.



The location of this element within a document has no significance,
unless it is included within a <linkGrp>, in which case it
may inherit the value of the type attribute from the value
given on the <linkGrp>.
