Rendering @extref on Julia REPL

[kellertuer]

I am working a bit on keyword arguments and mentioning their defaults.
I noticed that [`Example`](@ref) is rendered nicely on REPL, while @extref ones are not. Could this be fixed by defining a certain show Method?

Example:
If we have ManifoldsBase.jl in the Documenter plugin like

links = InterLinks(
    "ManifoldsBase" => ("https://juliamanifolds.github.io/ManifoldsBase.jl/stable/"),
)

and define somewhere in a doctoring

"""
* `X = ` [`zero_vector`](@extref `ManifoldsBase.zero_vector-Tuple{AbstractManifold, Any}`)`(M,p)` :
  specify a memory internally to store the gradient
"""
function foo end

its docs on help?> foo look like

  •  X = zero_vector (@extref `ManifoldsBase.zero_vector-Tuple{AbstractManifold, Any}`)(M,p):   specify a memory internally to store the gradient

while I would prefer them to look like (as is done for @refs

  •  X = zero_vector (M,p):   specify a memory internally to store the gradient

(zero_vector is light blue since it is a link in REPL)

this seems to be fixed on Julia master, as far as I understood the code (after @fredrikekre helped me find it).

On Julia. 1.10 only @ref is turned into a blank link on REPL, see

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/48d4fd48430af58502699fdf3504b90589df3852/stdlib/Markdown/src/render/terminal/render.jl#L162

while on current master with
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/222231f047462bcb2cef3e402c86cf41df82414d/stdlib/Markdown/src/render/terminal/render.jl#L195-L202

This issue might be resolved. Let's still keep this open until we know it is resolved (in maybe 1.11 or 1.12)

Yeah, just checked this. The way this is handled in nightly seems perfect to me, so we'll be able to close this as soon as that makes it into a release.

I confused extref and cite – cite already renders very nicely now.
