For example, Gifford ("Joyce Annotated") gives for "Holohan" (p.96, "A Mother"), "appears as an offstage character in "Two Gallants" and in Ulysses; see Dub C58:27n. It would be nice to have links to these characters' appearances in these texts.

@FionaLiu1998, here are some thoughts I have about cross-referencing characters, but you're welcome to go with whatever seems intuitive to you.

<person 
    role="assistant secretary of the Eire Abu society" 
    sex="M"  
    age="adult"
    xml:id="hh"> 

    <persName>Hoppy Holohan</persName>
    <link xml:id="holohan" target="#ulysses#lb070642"/>
    <note target="holohan">Holohan is mentioned in the "Aeolus" episode of Ulysses</note> 
</person>

(Holohan is mentioned in line 642 of Aeolus, among other places.)

But I'm also seeing that there are quite a number of other tags that are allowed inside <person>, like:

affiliation age birth death education event faith floruit langKnowledge listEvent nationality occupation persName persona residence sex socecStatus state trait

So there's room for even more description. Fargnoli might be a good reference for this.

Anyway no need to do everything. Even just a simple link between a few places would be good.
