The following attributes occur on all elements that can be the start of a link. They are summarized here once for brevity and to make the additional attributes that occur on many elements stand out.

linkend
/linkends
Points to an internal link target by identifying the value
of its xml:id
attribute
xlink:actuate
Identifies the XLink actuate behavior of the link:
onLoad
An application should traverse to the ending resource immediately on loading the starting resource.
onRequest
An application should traverse from the starting resource to the ending resource only on a post-loading event triggered for the purpose of traversal.
other
The behavior of an application traversing to the ending resource is unconstrained by this specification. The application should look for other markup present in the link to determine the appropriate behavior.
none
The behavior of an application traversing to the ending resource is unconstrained by this specification. No other markup is present to help the application determine the appropriate behavior.
xlink:arcrole
Identifies the XLink arcrole of the link
xlink:href
Identifies a link target with a URI
xlink:role
Identifies the XLink role of the link
xlink:show
Identifies the XLink show behavior of the link:
new
An application traversing to the ending resource should load the resource in a new window, frame, pane, or other relevant presentation context.
replace
An application traversing to the ending resource should load the resource in the same window, frame, pane, or other relevant presentation context in which the starting resource was loaded.
embed
An application traversing to the ending resource should load its presentation in place of the presentation of the starting resource.
other
The behavior of an application traversing to the ending resource is unconstrained by XLink. The application should look for other markup present in the link to determine the appropriate behavior.
none
The behavior of an application traversing to the ending resource is unconstrained by this specification. No other markup is present to help the application determine the appropriate behavior.
xlink:title
Identifies the XLink title of the link
xlink:type
Identifies the XLink link type
