Hi,

I'd like to come back to this topic: intersphinx is great, but it's a
pity that it doesn't work for `:doc:` roles. How much work would it be
to add this feature?

Yes, the objects.inv contains only objects, but I personally would need
it to interlink my own projects, so I have also the other project's
doctree files.

Yes, I can define extlink roles as a workaround, but an intersphinxed
:doc: role would have at least two advantages:

- possibility to automatically get the remote page's title
- only one place in my conf.py pointing to the other project

Not urgent, this was just to share my thoughts.
