In (info "(elisp) Common Keywords"), the documentation of keyword :link says:
`:link LINK-DATA'
Include an external link after the documentation string for this
item. This is a sentence containing an active field which
references some other documentation.
What does the `active field' mean? I've gone through the manual, but I don't find what it means.

Best regards.

It means that you can click on the text as a link, and the link will be followed
(outside of Emacs - it's an external link).
But unless you find "active field" explained somewhere, that's a doc bug, IMHO.
`M-x report-emacs-bug'.
