That's right. This is documented in

Sorry for the regression.

We currently do not support this.

The only thing you could do is specify XSLT stylesheet parameter
"chain-topics" as "yes". This will blindly link all topics (parent
topic, first child topic, next sibling topic, previous sibling topic).

This is done from within XMLmind XML Editor by using "Options|Customize
Configuration|Change Document Conversion Parameters". See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.part.ConversionParametersEditor.html
