The targetid child element
Release 2.0 - ...
The targetid child element of the dispatch action element provides an alternate means of specifying the target of the event to be dispatched.
The event target of the dispatch action is given by the targetid attribute or the targetid element. If both are given, the element takes precedence.
The targetid element can provide an IDREF for the event target with either its string content or the value attribute. If both are given, then the value attribute takes precedence.
