[oXygen-user] Open link to other topic?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Roderik,

The "open file at caret" should only work if in the edited text content 
there is an URL, which is not your case (the URL is in the @href 
attribute of the xref).

But the click should work if the xref has the proper attributes set to it.
When you edit a DITA Topic in the Oxygen Author page there is a 
drop-down toolbar button called "Link" which has an action called "Cross 
Reference" which takes care to insert a proper xref to the chosen target 
file.

There are other possibilities as well to insert an xref, for example if 
you drop a referenced topic from the DITA Maps Manager (or from the 
Windows Explorer) in the Author page a link will be created to the 
dropped topic.

We have a basic DITA editing video tutorial here:
