Andererseits erlaubt das W3C ausdrücklich Links in einer Definitionsliste:
Another application of DL, for example, is for marking up dialogues, with each DT naming a speaker, and each DD containing his or her words.

Although some people disagree with this example, it does suggest that definition lists can be used for more than simple terms and definitions, as long as there is a direct relationship between the items. Following this arguement, all the examples below could be marked up using definition lists:
DT: Speaker
DD: Quotation
DT: Image
DD: Description
DD: Location
DD: Photographer
DT: Term
DD: Descriptive image
DD: Description
DT: Website (link)
DD: Description
DT: Date
DD: Event
DT: Event
DD: Date
DD: Description
DD: Venue
DT: Internal links
DD: Home
DD: Section 1
DD: Section 2
DT: External links
DD: External link 1
DD: External link 2
