Find characters that appear in more than one text

[JonathanReeve]

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.

• Here's an example of cross-references for generic phrases, that illustrates a link between two portions of text, thanks to @charlesreid1.
• Here is documentation for the <person> tag, which I think would be useful.
• This is a Google Books search for "Holohan" in Gifford's Joyce Annotated, that points out that he appears in Ulysses on about four pages.
• Any character who appears in Ulysses also has an ID, like this one for Holohan, thanks to @yellwork's work. So we should probably use those IDs when linking.
• I feel like any links should probably use URLs, so a link to the "Circe" episode of Ulysses would point to https://github.com/open-editions/corpus-joyce-ulysses-tei/blob/master/u15_circe.xml.
• I feel like data about people should go in a header file, and not directly in the text, but that the names in the text should be given <persName xml:id=""> with an ID. Then, in the header somewhere, that can look like:

<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.
