Is it possible to apply rules set in Embedded content of XML parser for the attributes as well?

I'm afraid this isn't possible with the old version of the filetype you are using.

Are there any XML file types which could allow user to make a custom rules even for attributes?

Yes.  In Trados Studio 2021 with the new XML2 filetype you can do this.  For example I created this simple file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<atts>
  <title translate="n" >Soldier Freddy - Poem by Spike Milligan</title>
    <verse1>
      <text line="<b>Soldier</b>Freddy" />
      <text line="was never ready," />
      <text line="But! Soldier Neddy," />
      <text line="unlike Freddy" />
      <text line="Was always ready" />
      <text line="and steady," />
    </verse1>
    <verse2>
      <text line="That's why," />
      <text line="When Soldier Neddy" />
      <text line="Is-<b>outside</b>-Buckingham-Palace-on-<b>guard</b>-in -the-pouring-wind-and-rain-being-steady-and-ready," />
      <text line="Freddy" />
      <text line="is home in beddy." />
    </verse2>
</atts>

I added a couple of embedded content parts to two of the lines in the attributes. I then used one rule to extract the attributes:

Then used the html embedded content processor to handle the tags I added to these attribute values:

Resulting in this where segments #2 and #11 have been processed using the embedded content processor:

Or even better if I hide the file tags...

Hi Paul,

thanks for the answer, this is what I was looking for. Is it possible to use the XML2 filetype also in older version of Trados? Or it is just native filetype of 2021 version?

It's also available with the 2019 version.  But earlier versions won't have it, and it's also not possible to get it in there either.
