So instead of this

<casemgt xlink:title="Case for Some Agency">
  <name
    xlink:href="names/georgejones.xml"
    xlink:label="victim103"
    xlink:role="http://ingr.com/ips/linkprops/victim";
    xlink:title="George Jones" />
  <name
    xlink:href="assailant/jaydauro.xml"
    xlink:label="assailant102"
    xlink:role="http://ingr.com/ips/linkprops/assailant";
    xlink:title="Jay Dauro" />
  <case
    xlink:href="cases/case200010100.xml"
    xlink:label="Case 200010100"
    xlink:title="Case 200010100" />
  <address xlink:label="GeorgeJonesAddress">1040 Rhinestone Creek</gpa>
  <follow
    xlink:from="victim103"
    xlink:to="GeorgeJonesAddress"
    xlink:show="new"
    xlink:actuate="onRequest"
    xlink:title="George Jones's Address" />
  <follow
    xlink:from="Case 200010100"
    xlink:arcrole="http://ingr.com/ips/linkprops/victim";
    xlink:to="victim103"
    xlink:show="replace"
    xlink:actuate="onRequest"
    xlink:title="George Jones is the crime victim" />
  <follow
    xlink:from="victim103"
    xlink:arcrole="http://ingr.com/ips/linkprops/assailant";
    xlink:to="assailant102"
    xlink:show="replace"
    xlink:actuate="onRequest"
    xlink:title="Jay Dauro, assailant" />
</casemgt>

I get this

<casemgt xlink:title="Case for Some Agency">
  <name
    slink:href="names/georgejones.xml"
    slink:label="victim103"
    slink:role="http://ingr.com/ips/linkprops/victim";
    slink:title="George Jones" />
  <name
    slink:href="assailant/jaydauro.xml"
    slink:label="assailant102"
    slink:title="Jay Dauro" />
  <case
    slink:href="cases/case200010100.xml"
    slink:label="Case 200010100"
    slink:title="Case 200010100" />
  <address xlink:label="GeorgeJonesAddress">1040 Rhinestone Creek</gpa>
  <follow
    slink:from="victim103"
    slink:to="GeorgeJonesAddress"
    slink:title="George Jones's Address" />
  <follow
    slink:from="Case 200010100"
    slink:to="victim103"
    slink:title="George Jones is the crime victim" />
  <follow
    slink:from="victim103"
    slink:to="assailant102"
    slink:title="Jay Dauro, assailant" />
</casemgt>

That sounds a lot better than links to me; relationship information.
Some apps may want to generate hyperlinks from the combination of
relationships and document(s), others may do other things as Peter
suggests. 

So there are now three things.
doc.xml 
relationships.xml
and 
application.exe which plays with combinations of the above using
some collection of todays tools.
