Detached to or detached from

What does it mean "to be detached to something"? I have heard this word only with "from", is it the same meaning or the opposite ? The verb was used in the context : An important key element here is to become detached to the outcome. While the tide is coming in you don’t have to worry about the details. Once the tide comes in, the details will always take care of themselves...

According to Oxford Dictionaries, detached to is a military term, meaning:

(of a group of soldiers or ships) be sent on a separate mission.

An example:

‘our crew were detached to Tabuk for the exercise’

There are some examples of detached to being used in books, most of which are either militaristic in nature or deals with programming terms. To be more specific, the phrase detached to the outcome was included verbatim in exactly three books, compared to the ubiquitous detached from the outcome, according to Google.

This leads me to believe that the usage in your example is, in fact, erroneous.

As noted in other comments, this looks like a mistake to me so I looked on Google Ngrams for detached to it, detached about it (the latter seeming more natural to me in this context).

So, to is less common than about but not completely unknown. Which I guess is consistent with some people here thinking it is natural. (Although some of the to senses were the military meaning of "send to".)

Replacing it with him or her gave more even results for to and about (with to slightly ahead for him - not sure what the significance, if any, of that is).

I also tried detached from it in the above search. It was even more common, but this is probably dominated by the more literal, physical senses of the word.

I wanted a better search term to highlight this specific meaning. So I tried emotionally detached ... it and this found zero references for either to or about, only from. (Using "psychologically" found zero matches for any of them.)
