I tried that code but "The text to be referenced to" is never displayed on the screen, maybe it's because xlink is deprecated; would you know how to update that code to make it working ? Or what function should I use instead of xlink:href ? Thank you very much in advance :)

<tref xlink:href="#Textref"/>

The tref tag may not be supported by your browser. You would need a use tag:
<svg width="500" height="500" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.0"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

<text id="Textref">

</text>
</defs>
<text x="20" y="20" font-size="30" fill="#9d1d20" >
Inline text
</text>
<use x="20" y="40" href="#Textref" font-size="30" fill="red" style="text-decoration:underline;" />
