In the Author Mode of OxygenXML it’s quite easy to insert a new link (cross-reference), from the DITA toolbar or menu.

But, it appears the only way to edit an existing link (without resorting to attributes) is to first remove the link from the text [1], and then re-generate it.

Is there a simpler way of changing the linked target for a DITA xref?

[1] Which itself is counter-intuitive, performed by putting the cursor immediately to the right of the link icon, then press back-space.
