It ignores such links if the current topic itself is not in the current help instance tree.

You have several options to deal with this issue:

  • Mark the link with nullable="true", which will render it as plain text if the target is not available

  • Exclude the containing element (such as the paragraph with the problematic link) from the current help instance

  • Include the target topic into the current help instance
