A few SVG attributes can use IRI values, a pointer to an external or internal resource.
For example:

<rect fill="url(#an-id)" />

Same with stroke, markerstart, markermid, markerend, href.

After bug 921102 lands, we should also linkify these attributes.
They're a bit more complex than other, simpler, URL attributes which are handled in bug 921102 because some parsing is necessary.
Indeed, the IRI could be pointing to a remote file, or a local id, also, the attribute value may or may not contain the link:

<rect fill="red" />

Here's another example:

http://codepen.io/thebabydino/full/BNRmRE/
Search for g#vertices on the page, the group contains a set of <use xlink:href="..." /> that all point to SVG elements in the <defs> part of the SVG. Right clicking on the href should offer to select the referenced element.

For internal resources it's clear that the link should select the referenced element. Though what should happen when the URI refers to an external resource? Should it be opened in a new tab? In the same one? Can/should the DevTools be opened? And can/should the referenced element be selected?

Agreed.

I would vote for it to open the resource in a new browser tab, without devtools opened. Just like we someetimes do for opening images or scripts in other tabs.
