Hello Judith,
An internal link inside a reused component should look like this:
<div id="reusable">
<table id="myTable">
<tgroup cols="1">
<tbody>
<row>
<entry></entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
<p>
Paragraph <xref href="#./myTable"/>
</p>
</div>
So:
<xref href="#./myTable"/>
That "#." part is called a self link, there are some examples of it here:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/langRef/base/xref.html
So the "<xref href="#./myTable"/>" should properly resolve in the
HTML/PDF no matter where the entire reusable component will be used.
But this depends also on the publishing offered by Ixiasoft which we do
not control.
About how you can insert "<xref href="#./myTable"/>" constructs,
Ixiasoft in general allows only inserting keyref links but in this case
such a relative href link would need to be inserted in order for the
link to work. If Ixiasoft's Oxygen integration does not offer you the
way to insert such a link in the Author page, you can try to insert it
in the Text editing mode and ask Ixiasoft to take such an use case into
account for a future version.
About this remark:
Do you offer DITA or Oxygen courses for technical authors who would
like to learn a bit more about how these kind of things work?
We do not offer training/courses. Even if we would, it would not help
you much because you are using Oxygen with Ixiasoft which controls what
actions and functionality the editor offers, the workflows are
controlled by the CMS.
The DITA 1.3 specification is quite an useful set of resources about
what the DITA standard can and cannot do.
We also have a set of videos for learning DITA with Oxygen (but they are
with Oxygen desktop which has more functionality than the Oxygen
products which are embedded and customized by Ixiasoft):

Hope this helps!

Hi All,
A colleague of mine would like to use cross references within reusable
content. For example, he created a reusable content topic with <p>
elements and <table> elements. In the <p> elements, he created an
<xref> to the <table> element, but in the PDF, this does not result in
a correct link. Is there a way to incorporate <xref> elements in
reusable content? I would think it’s possible with conkeyrefs, but I
can’t figure out how to implement this. Any suggestion would be
appreciated.
We work with Oxygen embedded in Ixiasoft Eclipse / Madcap IXIA CCMS Web.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Judith
