Description

Jona from the INDIGO project kindly suggested to add CIDOC links to the entities documented in the manual.
This is a great suggestion and we will implemented it for the next version.

If possible it would be good to define variables (probably in sphinx/source/conf.py) for the URL parts, e.g with https://cidoc-crm.org/entity/e5-event/version-7.1.1

So that we can build links like {cidoc_url}entity/e5-event/{cidoc_version}, which would be helpful e.g if the used version changes.
These links could be placed under the title of entity entries like e.g. CIDOC class: E5 Event (where the bold text is linked)

It bothered me to find a way to dynamically create links to e.g. the CIDOC documentation. I ended up using the Sphinx extlinks extension.
For that I activated the extension in config.py and defined cidoc_entity links:

extensions: List[str] = ['sphinx.ext.extlinks']
extlinks = {
    'cidoc_entity': ('https://www.cidoc-crm.org/Entity/%s/version-7.1.1', '')}

Now it can be used in templates like this (I added an example at entity/source.rst):

CIDOC documentation: :cidoc_entity:`e33-linguistic-object`

Code is already in the develop branch but not online.

The implementation for CIDOC links with extlinks is just one suggestion.
Even better would be a function like e.g.

cidoc_entity_link(label, url_part)

which, when called like
cidoc_entity_link('E33 Linguistic Object', 'e33-linguistic-object')

would create the link https://www.cidoc-crm.org/Entity/e33-linguistic-object/version-7.1.1 with E33 Linguistic Object as label
