Description
If one selects a subclass (like `DoubleMLPLR`) and expands the inherited methods (from `DoubleML`) the hyperlinks don't work.
See screenshots


It links to https://docs.doubleml.org/r/DoubleML/html/DoubleML.html#method-confint. It is reachable under https://docs.doubleml.org/r/stable/reference/DoubleML.html#method-confint.
--> Could be related to the "stable" subfolder but maybe it's also a specification in pkgdown which is not yet set appropriately.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the broken inherited-method links from the R API reference using a subclass such as DoubleMLPLR, then compare the generated URL with the working stable/reference/DoubleML.html#method-confint path. Start by inspecting the pkgdown configuration and reference-generation settings related to the stable subfolder. Done means inherited-method hyperlinks resolve to the corresponding stable reference pages.
