| SUMMARY: |
I can't create an fm-xref to anything except a "topic" |
| ISSUE: |
By default, in both FM8-DITA and DITA-FMx when inserting an fm-xref (or fm-link in DITA-FMx), you will only "see" the topic elements (topic, concept, task, reference) as targets. |
| SOLUTION: |
If you want to link to other elements, you must update the EDD so the "id" attribute of the target element has a type of "UniqueID" (instead of "String"). If you want these elements to be automatically populated with an ID value, change "Optional" to "Required". |
| BACKGROUND: |
Note that it is a best practice to reference the container element rather than the "title" element. For example, if you want to make a link to a section, table, or fig element, change the id attribute on table or fig, not the title element. |
