Forrest calls it 'Semantic Linking', to quote from 
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/linking.html:

"Forrest's solution is simple: instead of <link href="todo.html">, write <link 
href="site:todo">, where: 

site is a URI 'scheme'; a namespace that restricts the syntax and semantics of the 
rest of the URI [rfc2396]. The semantics of 'site' are "this identifier locates 
something 
in the site's XML sources". 
todo identifies the content in todo.xml, by reference to a 'node' of content declared 
in 
site.xml. 
We call this semantic linking because instead of linking to a physical representation 
(todo.html), we've linked to the 'idea' of "the todo file". It doesn't matter where it 
physically lives; that will be sorted out by Forrest.
