-Targeting other junctions
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-When working with nested junctions, you can also create a junction element that
-targets another junction element in the sub-project. This can be useful if you
-need to ensure that both the top-level project and the sub-project are using
-the same version of the sub-sub-project.
+Linking to other junctions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When working with nested junctions, you often need to ensure that multiple
+projects are using the same version of a given subproject.
+
+In order to ensure that your project is using a junction to a sub-subproject
+declared by a direct subproject, then you can use a :mod:`link <elements.link>`
+element in place of declaring a junction.
-This can be done using the ``target`` configuration option. See below for an
-example:
+This lets you create a link to a junction in the subproject, which you
+can then treat as a regular junction in your toplevel project.
.. code:: yaml
- kind: junction
+ kind: link
config:
target: subproject.bst:subsubproject.bst
-
-In the above example, this junction element would be targeting the junction
-element named ``subsubproject.bst`` in the subproject referred to by
-``subproject.bst``.
-
-Note that when targeting another junction, the names of the junction element
-must not be the same as the name of the target.

+================================

+The only configuration allowed in a ``link`` element is the specified
+target of the link.
+
+.. code:: yaml

+ kind: link
+
+ config:
+ target: element.bst

+The ``link`` element can be used to refer to elements in subprojects, and
