+Cross-referencing
+-----------------
+
+As discussed above, the documentation generated by *sphinx-click* includes
+anchors for the generated commands, their options and their environment
+variables using the `Sphinx standard domain`_. Specifically, it uses the
+|program directive|_, |option directive|_, and |envvar directive|_ directives.
+
+Options (e.g. ``--param``)
+  The ``option`` directive can be cross-referenced using the |option role|_
+  role.
+
+Environment variables
+  The ``envvar`` directive can be cross-references using the |ref role|_ role.
+  *sphinx-click* generates labels in the format
+  ``{command_name}-{param_name}-{envvar}``. It is **not** currently possible to
+  use the |envvar role|_ role because the default labels generated by Sphinx
+  are not namespaced and will generate conflicts if the same environment
+  variable is used in multiple commands. See `issue #26`__ for more
+  information.

+
+Programs
+  Sphinx currently does not allow you to cross-reference programs. See `Sphinx
+  issue #880`__ for more information.
