Please review a small localized point fix for an error when updating 
relative links in doc comments.

The problem is that `name` or `id` attributes may be updated (and should 
not be) when updating links for use in a different context.

There are other more systemic design problems in the surrounding code 
that will eventually warrant attention, but this is for a specific 
fixable error.
