+Explicitly Reference External Objects
+-------------------------------------
+
+The Intersphinx extension provides the following role.
+
+.. rst:role:: external
+
+   .. versionadded:: 4.4
+
+   Use Intersphinx to perform lookup only in external projects, and not the
+   current project. Intersphinx still needs to know the type of object you
+   would like to find, so the general form of this role is to write the
+   cross-refererence as if the object is in the current project, but then prefix
+   it with ``:external``.
+   The two forms are then
+
+   - ``:external:domain:reftype:`target```,
+     e.g., ``:external:py:class:`zipfile.ZipFile```, or
+   - ``:external:reftype:`target```,
+     e.g., ``:external:doc:`installation```.
+
+   If you would like to constrain the lookup to a specific external project,
+   then the key of the project, as specified in :confval:`intersphinx_mapping`,
+   is added as well to get the two forms 
 
+   - ``:external+invname:domain:reftype:`target```,
+     e.g., ``:external+python:py:class:`zipfile.ZipFile```, or
+   - ``:external+invname:reftype:`target```,
+     e.g., ``:external+python:doc:`installation```.
