Docbook-xsl should handle it if you are using Saxon or
Xalan processors, but not libxslt yet. It requires
setting the params 'use.extensions' and
'textinsert.extension' to 1 so the text
insertion extensions in Saxon or Xalan will be utilized.
Without the extensions, the XSL output looks like this:
<div class="mediaobject"><a type="simple" show="embed"
actuate="onLoad" href="foo.c"></a></div>
This is a bit of a hybrid between HTML and XLink,
since HTML doesn't have 'show' or 'actuate' attributes
for the <A> element. Since a browser won't 'show'
the link, and since the <A> element contains no
text, this is an invisible link.
