First, it's good that someone is using assemblies -- it would be very
hard to develop them without feedback from users. Regarding links, I
think that proper way of linking is to use XLink pointing to source XML
file of module and optionally to ID withing this fragment. E.g.:

<xref xlink:href="installation.xml#system.requirements"/>

However I'm not sure that stylesheets are already supporting this mechanism.
