An XLink element in a taxonomy, obeying the constraints on XLink imposed by XBRL. For example, an XLink arc or extended link.
The XLink elements are backed by a yaidom BackingNodes.Elem. As a consequence, XLink child elements of an extended link know their
parent element (as BackingNodes.Elem), and therefore know their ELR (extended link role).
XLink (see https://www.w3.org/TR/xlink11/) is a somewhat low level standard on top of XML, but it is
very important in an XBRL context. Many taxonomy elements are also XLink elements, especially inside linkbases.
