The plugin allows to resolve @ref links that fail resolution to fall back to @extref links. Any fallback must be declared explicitly, since the proper @extref link cannot generally be inferred from the @ref link. Even in situations where it could: the fallback should be used very very sparingly, and in no way substitutes @extref links (unlike how Intersphinx handles things).

The plugin allows to resolve `@ref` links that fail resolution to fall
back to `@extref` links. Any fallback must be declared explicitly, since
the proper `@extref` link cannot generally be inferred from the `@ref`
link. Even in situations where it could: the fallback should be used
very very sparingly, and in no way substitutes `@extref` links (unlike
how Intersphinx handles things).
