You could have a "regular" (replace/onRequest) link to a document, with a
smaller link inside the starting resource that's an "embed" link to some
descriptive info in the target document. This way, your link would always
reflect the latest status of the other document.
If it were a simple link, it could look like this:
<p>
See Dr. Brainy's article on <goTo
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://www.example.com/whatever.xml"
xlink:show="replace"
xlink:actuate="onRequest"
>brain enhancement (<pullIn
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://www.example.com/whatever.xml#xpointer(//edition)"
xlink:show="embed"
xlink:actuate="onLoad"
/>).</goTo>
</p>
The approximate appearance would be:
See Dr. Brainy's article on brain enhancement (2d edition).
------------------------------
I'm assuming that the <edition> element contains something like "2", and a
stylesheet is being applied to turn it into "2d edition".
