Hi! I'm using xref to link another topic to the existing one; I use DITAOT to publish these topics using two ways: the first is to include both topics into the ditamap; the second is just to publish the first topic. The produced result is different: the link to the second topic is clickable and leads to the second topic included into the pdf as an internal element when a ditamap is used. But if I use just a topic for publishing the second topic is not included into the result pdf as an internal element.

The question is - is it possible at all to include the xrefed topic into the result pdf without ditamap usage? Or is the only way to implement is to use a ditamap?

Thanks, Alex
