Does CX interline to Etihad on separate tickets?
Looking to book a ticket from HKG - TPE on CX and a separate ticket from TPE-AUH and AUH - YYZ on Etihad. Will CX interline the baggage from HKG all the way to YYZ?

So CX's policy is that they will interline baggage if the second airline is an interline partner, even if the second ticket is in a different booking. Upon checking, EY is an interline partner so you should be good (bags go directly to YYZ)
However, it doesn't appear CX has an inter-airline through check-in agreement with EY, so CX might have some difficulty issuing the boarding pass in HKG. Anecdotally speaking, doing an online check in with EY directly might help with CX printing out your bp in HKG, but there is no guarantee. Worst case scenario you pick up the transfer boarding pass in TPE.
