My answer assumes that you are talking about DocBook v5+, not DocBook v4
(which does not support <xref xlink:href="#..."/>).

I use <xref xlink:href="#..."/> links in my DocBook documents. When
creating an xref in XMLMind, there is a default "linkend" attribute but
no xlink:href.
Note that <xref xlink:href="#foo"> (starting with '#') is functionally
equivalent to <xref linkend="foo">, just more complex and not well
supported by XMLmind XML Editor (because this variant of <xref> is not
really useful).
How can I replace linkend with xlink:href ?
1) Check "Enable the "Edit|Force Deletion" menu item"
(Options|Preferences, General|Features section) and restart XXE. This
step is done once for all.
2) Insert an <xref> and select it.
3) In the Attributes tool, right-click "linkend" and select "Force
Removal" from the popup menu.
4) Reselect this now invalid <xref> if needed to. This time, attribute
"xlink:href" should be listed in the Attributes tool, so give a value to
the "xlink:href" attribute.
Once this is done, because performing steps (2), (3) and (4) over and
over is quite inconvenient, it's possible to make <xref
xlink:href="#???"/> your default <xref> template. How to do this is
explained in this tutorial:
