Unlike the RFC, Rustdoc supports interpreting full reference links as intra-doc links. It might make sense to prefer this over inline links as they might also imply a URL.

I'm happy to apply this preference across the code base, though a implementing a lint first might be preferable.

Discussion on zulip is here.

I added it to the rustdoc team agenda so it can be discussed.

It's still in the "to discuss" items list. Sorry, we don't go through very fast. ^^'

We decided in the last rustdoc meeting on zulip to not favor one syntax over the other. Instead we added a section in the rustdoc book mentioning what both syntaxes will result into (#121021).

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and for your work! We hope to see you again. :)
