When inserting a cross-reference (<xref>) in Draft Space, link text is automatically generated only when referencing an entire topic.
When referencing other elements, no link text is generated and the UI displays “Unable to auto-generate link text,” though the correct text is rendered in the final output.
RWS Engineering explained that auto-generating link text for all element types is not feasible due to performance concerns and the variability of targets (for example, tables or paragraphs without text).
This request proposes auto-generating link text for <title> elements in tables and figures, which is our team’s most common use case for these types of links.
