Back at my computer I see that several people have correctly identified the location and it is true that it can only be seen if the register view is set to double line mode. The document link is tied to the transaction and not to a split within the transaction. The illustrations in the help manual do not show an example, but section 5.14 in the help manual explains how to use the feature. The last two actions under the Transaction menu heading pertain to entering or editing an item and following a link if it exists and the object exists at that location.
