----------------------------------
Still desirable, though not achievable with current tools.
> Documentation: Need ability to link from one manual to another

> It would be desirable to be able to create usable links from a topic in one
> manual to a topic in another. At present, in the HTML Pages version, the
> linked-to topic opens in the right-hand frame, replacing the current topic
> (so that the context of the topic is lost). And in the PDF and the HTML
> one-page versions, the links do not work at all. Both of these issues appear
> to be toolkit problems.
> According to Andrew McIntyre, it should be possible to make the linked-to
> HTML Pages topic open in a new window if a new target attribute is created.
> Would this include making the entire manual open in the window, with the TOC
> on the left and the topic on the right?
> In the HTML one-page version (and presumably the PDF), if the link in, for
> example, a Getting Started manual DITA file is to
> "../adminguide/cadminnetservsecurity.dita#cadminnetservsecurity", the tools
> truncate it to "#cadminnetservsecurity" -- a link within the current manual,
> not the one linked to, and therefore a bad link.
> In order to say we have the ability to link to other manuals, we'd need to
> make both these fixes.
> DERBY-79 had this as one of four requests; the other three have been met, so
> we closed that bug, and I'm refiling this request as a separate issue.
