Bob's O'Reilly weblog is devoted to linking-related topics. One posting discusses a backlinking trick, so I added the link in this sentence to make it easier to demonstrate from the weblog posting (that is, clicking the "backlink" while in the weblog posting shows that this page links to it).
Linking to (Almost) Any Block Element of (Almost) Any Web Page with addids.cgi
A demo of how to use XSLT to prototype 1-to-many link markup--in this case, using nested a elements.
April 2002 XML.com article XLink: Who Cares analyses the lack of XLink activity.

My paper, slides, and examples on "Building XLink Applications with XSLT" that I presented at the XML 2001 Conference and Exposition.
XML Linking page at Robin Cover's XML home page
hiermenus JavaScript library not directly related to XLink, but has good potential for cross-platform client-side way to implement one-to-many links.
XLink/XPointer Tools page at www.xmlsoftware.com.
I was going to include more XLink links here, but the xmlsoftware.com page and Robin's page cover anything else I might have added...
demo of downloading a table into a spreadsheet program like Excel. Nothing to do with XML, actually.

More of Bob's XML and SGML work.
Robin Cover's XML (and SGML) page. The best single source. Nonprofit and comprehensive. If you're curious about some XML-related acronym and want to know what's up with it, Robin will probably have a whole page of stuff on it. His site is also searchable.
xmlsoftware.com The best starting point to check out any available software, free or otherwise (also leads to software for XML-related specs like XSLT).
W3C Technical Recommendations All the official specs.
The XML FAQ Good starting point for anybody.
xmlinfo's newcomers page has many good references.
