Usage of :doc: is an antipattern. It is fragile and prone to breaking cross references when docs are moved or renamed.

Adding in .. _reference: syntax to files and headings means cross-references can instead be made with the :ref: directive, which will (presuming the references themselves are not deleted or renamed) be more robust to docs refactorings.

Depends on openedx/open-edx-proposals#716
