--> First of all, your XXE configuration is invalid. Open it in XXE (or
use xsdvalid) and you'll see that the <dtd> configuration element has a
"systemId" required attribute.
Change:
---
<dtd publicId="-//Birdstep//DTD Ayuda XML V1.0//EN"/>
---
to:
---
<dtd publicId="-//Birdstep//DTD Ayuda XML V1.0//EN"
systemId="my/local/copy/ayuda.dtd"/>
---
--> Now, this being said, I'm not sure the disabled "Edit Referenced
Document" is related to the above problem.
Generally when "Edit Referenced Document" is disabled, it means that
<local-config> element simply does not represent an external document
module.
XXE may have flattened your document when it has opened it. You need to
use Options|Options, Open Tab and check toggle "Warn about loss of
physical structure" to get a warning.
In order to help you more, I need to see a master document referencing a
<local-config> module and having the problem you describe.
