Inkscape 1.1 on Linux does not support Paths defined with <defs> - Beginners' Questions

2022-04-06

I have a svg drawing that renders properly in chrome and firefox.
(quick sample code inline)

<svg
        xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<path id="emptyHex" d="m400.144 173.33-100 173.205h-200L.144 173.33l100-173.205h200z" style="fill:navy;fill-opacity:.75;stroke:#ccc;stroke-width:.25" transform="translate(-102.291 -20.548)"/>
</defs>
<g transform="translate(102.291 20.548)"><use href="#emptyHex"/>/g>
</svg>

The hexagon does not appear in inkscape - it appears that inkscape does not support href/def for paths.
How would I do the above in inkscape?

Just discovered that Inkscape still uses the deprecated xlink:href
