A feature of inline XBRL is its use of HTML (web pages). Linking within a report can be  using the standard hyperlinks  ‘<a>’. This sort of linking is supported by any web browser and is most useful for a human reading report.

It can also be about using fact-to-fact relationships (such as fact-explanatoryFact) with the right XBRL tooling to make use of them. This sort of linking is for machines to follow and is supported by XBRL tools.
