linktext
The <linktext> element provides
the literal label or line of text for a link. In most cases, the text
of a link can be resolved during processing by cross reference with
the target resource. Use the <linktext> element
only when the target cannot be reached, such as when it is a peer
or external link, or when the target is local but not
in DITA format. When used inside a topic, it is used
as the text for the specified link; when used within a map, it is
used as the text for generated links that point to the specified topic.
