 However, this also means that we need to be deliberate about the components we include in a distribution. Our current
 philosophy is that we will only add a new component to a distribution if
 - it is required to support the use case of the distribution
-- we consider it essential for all distributions, e.g. `debugexporter` or `healthcheckextension`
+- we consider it [essential ](./distributions/core-components.md) for all distributions
 Our goal is to work with customers and internal teams to iteratively create new distributions when a strong enough use case has been developed and the components to support it have been identified.
 
 Please note that while the set of distributions is still limited, we encourage you to also explore the distributions provided by the [OpenTelemetry community](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/tree/main/distributions). In particular the `contrib` distribution can be helpful as a stopgap solution as it includes all core and contrib components.
