Thanks for responding
I take your point about distinguishing "editing" from "viewing". I was ignorant of the existance of inkview.
To quote my original mail
My purposes are not the rendering of HTML but rather the invocation of a program. Does inkscape support this and how.
My original post was grasping at a solution for my posted Feature Request "1070754 - Maintaining Attributes in Users Namespace". In essence, the request was for some capability that allowed for the maintenance of the attributes of a shape that are defined in the namespace of the user (e.g if a line represented a road then I would like to define the name of that road).
From the perspective of the users of the application that I'm developing, this activity is part of the process of "svg creation" not of "svg use" (by which I mean, analogously, "editing" not "viewing").
I had chosen a misleading example. 8^(
Any thoughts ?

When invoking the example in InternetExplorer, the affect of clicking on the ellipse is to bring up W3's web page. I have not found a way of achieving this in inkscape.
What, Inkscape did not show you the web page?! :)
Seriously, it would be nice to run a browser by clicking a link. In theory. In practice, Inkscape is not so much of a "user agent" as it is an SVG creating application. In particular, following link on click will badly get in the way of editing. Clicking something in Inkscape has lots of editing functions. So, while we can create links, I think we can be excused for not following them.
This of course applies to inkscape proper. For inkview, following links by calling a browser is a must. I think we already have an RFE on that; search in the tracker and add your comments.
