No, you cannot convert the selection to a link having attribute linkend using Ctrl-T or Ctrl+Shift-T. This is a limitation of XMLmind XML Editor which cannot suggest by itself "convert to link with attribute linkend" OR "convert to linkend with attribute xlink:href" (the linkend and xlink:href attributes are mutually exclusive but one of these two attributes is required). If you often need to convert some text to a link, you may bind the action invoked by toolbar button "Convert to link" to a keystroke of your choice. [1] Use toolbar button "Convert to link". [2] Select Options|Customize Configuration|Add Keyboard Shortcut [3] Specify a keystroke and choose the "Convert to link" from the "Choose from last executed commands..." combobox.
