Specifications and additional details are included in the file 'xyz'.
if the which goes it reads ok
"Specifications are included in the file 'xyz', see for additional details"
Refer to file 'xyz' for specifications and additional details.
Are we doing his homework?

"which see for additional details"?
Should read "see the witch for details". That's what I do anyway :doh:
No,
Sounds like Singlish to me.

See what for details? there is no subject in that second part of the sentence
We need to know where the specifications are and where the aditional details are.
If they are all in the same place then

Refer to file 'xyz' for specifications and additional details.
is just fine, otherwise
"Specifications are included in the file 'xyz', see 'abc' for additional details"
would be more accurate where there are two separate subjects
I use electronic translators and am used to rather oddly constructed sentences. I am happy as long as the general meaning is understood !

Answer - no.
IMHO it should read:-
Specifications are included in the file 'xyz', for which see additional details...........
and point the reader to where those additional details are.
I think the additional details are in the specification file:
"Specifications are included in the file 'xyz', which contains additional details."

Sure, but like the forum the file could be ginormous, so a pointer to 'Section x' or 'Clause x' would be helpful

Does that come with rice or do I have to order that separately?
EDIT: I just used the Google translator and it says "Stop changing the thread, we were talking about cats and feathers" so I think I'll cancel that order :doh:
