href	A hyperlink to an external Web page (URL) or other non-DITA resource, or to another DITA topic in the same file or in another file. The format attribute identifies the format of the target. Non-DITA targets use standard URL syntax. DITA topics are targetted as follows: Target elsewhere in the same file: href="#topicid" First topic in different file: href="filename.dita" Specific topic in different file: href="filename.dita#topicid" If the URL contains an ampersand character, the ampersand symbol (&) should be used to indicate that character	CDATA	#IMPLIED	No

scope	The scope attribute identifies the closeness of the relationship between the current document and the target resource. Set scope to `local` when the resource is part of the current set of content. Set scope to `peer` when the resource is part of the current set of content but is not accessible at build time. Set scope to `external` when the resource is not part of the current information set and should open in a new browser window. See Using the -dita-use-conref-target value for more information on -dita-use-conref-target. The processing default is `local`. If no value is specified, but the attribute is specified on an ancestor within a map or within the related-links section, the value will inherit from the closest ancestor.
