| Typically, though, this will be a chord, and we already have

| displayed or rendered. How do you want to do that?
I see what you mean, perhaps we need a way of associating a KeyCombo
with a link or something (instead of just a letter), but at the moment
there's no mechanism for doing that.
I suppose it could be considered link metadata and then we might be
able to shoehorn it into XLink.
Be seeing you,
