Hi Roderik, The "open file at caret" should only work if in the edited text content there is an URL, which is not your case (the URL is in the @href attribute of the xref). But the click should work if the xref has the proper attributes set to it. When you edit a DITA Topic in the Oxygen Author page there is a drop-down toolbar button called "Link" which has an action called "Cross Reference" which takes care to insert a proper xref to the chosen target file. There are other possibilities as well to insert an xref, for example if you drop a referenced topic from the DITA Maps Manager (or from the Windows Explorer) in the Author page a link will be created to the dropped topic. We have a basic DITA editing video tutorial here:

Hi,
I was wondering how I should create and open a link to another dita-topic in oxygen.
I’ve tried various things and the most logic option to me was to create a xref-element and add the url as an href-attribute. But when I click the link, nothing happens, and selecting “open file at caret” results in an error message: “Cannot open the specified file”.
