+References to the BitBake manual can be done:
+ - With a specific description instead of the section name:
+  :ref:`Azure Storage fetcher (az://) <bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-fetching:fetchers>`
+ - With the section name:
+  ":ref:`bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-intro:usage and syntax` option
+ - Linking to the entire BitBake manual:
+  :doc:`BitBake User Manual <bitbake:index>`
+
+Note that a reference to a variable (:term:`VARIABLE`) automatically points to
+the BitBake manual if the variable is not described in the Reference Manual's Variable Glossary.
+However, if you need to bypass this, you can explicitely refer to a description in the
+BitBake manual as follows:
 
-  See the ":ref:`-D <bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-intro:usage and syntax>`" option
-or
   :term:`bitbake:BB_NUMBER_PARSE_THREADS`
