Hello,

 

I like the link tool and use it quite a lot. I would like to suggest a few 
possible enhancements. I will demonstrate them on DocBook and on the way I use 
it. Of course I understand this may rather be subjective and may not apply 
generally.

 

*Allow to select default link type. 

For now the link element is automatically selected. However in 90% of cases I 
rather use the xref element. As our documentation is created and managed 
usually on the section level I have to choose the link type for each document 
opened. This suggestion also comes from the general assumption that authors 
usually use uniform linkage style. So they for example use the xref element 
more often then the link or olink elements. This might also apply in case I 
want to create lots of olinks at once. So I set default link type and thus omit 
choosing the link type explicity for each document opened.

 

*Allow to implicitly offer id values from referenced document if it is opened 
in XXE. 

Let's suppose I have two files opened in XXE: book.xml and chapter.xml. 
chapter.xml is included in the book.xml. In the chapter.xml file I want to 
create a link pointing to an id in the book.xml file. First I have to add the 
book.xml as the link context. It would be great if ids from the referenced 
document which is opened in XXE could be retrieved automatically without having 
to specify the file as the link context.

 

Thank you for your consideration.
