Relevant to the parent here, I prefer to use a link because it is more commonly expected and it gives me the opportunity to refer to a quality source for an in-depth explanation of what I'm referencing.

It is especially useful when writing a technical document that utilizes multiple products/stacks/terms. Creating links to quality sources for those items gives someone new to the content a good source to go deeper into those pieces while allowing me to focus the article on the specific aspect I'm writing about.

This is how you do that:

    Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (<a href="...">CRDT</a>)

...then you use "CRDT" for the rest of the document.
