Export TFS Work Items to an .XML file (using TFS Power Tools)

Steps:

Download Team Foundation Server Power Tools.
On the command line use the TFPT.exe utility to export all work items from a team project in .XML format:

tfpt query /collection:<URL> /format:xml /wiql:"SELECT * FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = '<TeamProject>' AND [System.WorkItemType] <> 'Sprint' ORDER BY [System.Id]" > WorkItems.xml
As you can see I selected all work items from the team project excluding Sprint Work Items. Feel free to modify the query, if necessary.

But is there an easy way to import them? And how can I export attachments/links?
