A bit of text doesn't point anywhere. There may be a piece of separately stored information that says that there is a link between that bit of text and my left ankle (say), in which case that information may be termed a link, and you can say that you want to make a new thre-ended link that shares both ends of the other link. I'm not sure how to create markup for that in a way that can be easily understood and explained, but, if that is deemed an essential requirement of an XML hypertext system, no doubt Eliot and/or Tim's proposal will show how to do it. If that bit of text is actually marked up- as one end of a link, you can point to the same place that it does if you like using a TEI extended pointer, if such things be supported. Lee
