I would think this is possible only when the tags to mark such
complex data were defined. Do you see it differently?

See XPointer: http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr

For example, you can't go find a complex cross section (w/
orientation and positioning and all such neat things) unless
when you do get to some position in another document you know
what you are looking at. To me this requires markup
for those parts, regardless of it physical position.

Now for Xlinks http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/
Xlinks can be thought as a "include", i.e. insert whatever is over
"there" (defined by the xlink) as if it were where you see the
xlink.

Again It seems to me you can not import data unless it is marked
reasonably enough to identify what it is, so we are back to the
marking definitions whether any uses a xlink or not.
