With RRC 4 ReqIf (Requirements Interchange Format) was introduced. This might help to achive your goals. See doc

I haven't check but I'm not sure if the links will be exported/imported too.

As Wolfgang indicates ReqIF is probably you best option.

The data that you can import from a ReqIF file includes:
  • Textual artifacts
  • Graphical artifacts
  • Attribute definitions
  • Attribute definitions from Link Types
  • Data types
  • Folder and folder hierarchy
  • Links
  • Link types
  • Object types
Restriction: Data import does not include:
  • Tags
  • Views
  • Comments
  • Reviews
  • Audit History
