While partial parsing makes sens internally, partial linking doesn't as
linking always requires some kind of context and changes in one region
could cause the links to change in completely different regions.
It's a better idea to use Xtext on the basis of resources not text
snippets, i.e. write your grammar such that each snippet makes a valid
model.
Could you explain how your snippets are related to each other and where
they get their contexts for cross-references?
