* In the `onload` callback, the `import` property of the `link`
* element will contain the imported document contents.

* @param {?function(!Event):void=} onload Callback to notify when an import successfully
* loaded.
* @param {?function(!ErrorEvent):void=} onerror Callback to notify when an import
* unsuccessfully loaded.
* @param {boolean=} optAsync True if the import should be loaded `async`.
* Defaults to `false`.
* @return {!HTMLLinkElement} The link element for the URL to be loaded.
