XLink treats any external resource as a link.  Images, web pages, stylesheets, etc.

What we're calling "links" here is a subset of those links, the kind you conciously click/select to "go there"; images (and external stylesheets) are another subset.  See the XLink `show` and `actuate` attributes.[1]
