General DITA questions

Can I control what happens to attributes in conref-ed elements ?

When I conref an element, the attributes - excepting id and conref of course - are copied from the source to the reference element. This also happens when updating the conrefs. Is there a way to control this behavior, i.e. suppress it for specific elements ?

Kindest regards.
