+:link LINK-DATA'
+        Include an external link after the documentation string for this
+        item.  This is a sentence containing an active field which
+        references some other documentation.
+   
+        There are three alternatives you can use for LINK-DATA:
+   
+        `(custom-manual INFO-NODE)'
+             Link to an Info node; INFO-NODE is a string which specifies
+             the node name, as in `\"(emacs)Top\"'.  The link appears as
+             `[manual]' in the customization buffer.
+   
+        `(info-link INFO-NODE)'
+             Like `custom-manual' except that the link appears in the
+             customization buffer with the Info node name.
+   
+        `(url-link URL)'
+             Link to a web page; URL is a string which specifies the URL.
+             The link appears in the customization buffer as URL.
+   
+        You can specify the text to use in the customization buffer by
+        adding `:tag NAME' after the first element of the LINK-DATA; for
+        example, `(info-link :tag \"foo\" \"(emacs)Top\")' makes a link to the
+        Emacs manual which appears in the buffer as `foo'.
+   
+        An item can have more than one external link; however, most items
+        have none at all.
