How to edit DITA link in OxygenXML Author mode

Hello,

In the Author Mode of OxygenXML it's quite easy to insert a new link (cross-reference), from the DITA toolbar or menu.

But, it appears the only way to edit an existing link (without resorting to attributes) is to first remove the link from the text [1], and then re-generate it.

Is there a simpler way of changing the linked target for a DITA xref?

Hi,
I'm afraid we do not have an edit link functionality which would show a custom dialog. We have an issue for this and I added a link to the forum thread on that internal issue so if it gets done in a future release we will update this forum thread.
Indeed right now as workarounds you can either remove and re-insert the link or use the attributes view or in-place attributes editor (press alt-enter with the caret inside the link).
Regards,
Radu
