Description
We should improve links within the spec. Concretely:
- Replace links to PEPs with links to the relevant part of the spec (https://github.com/python/typing/pull/1517#pullrequestreview-1763857938)
- Where we mention a feature, link it to the relevant spec section (e.g., whenever we mention
Annotated, it should link to the spec section that describesAnnotated). - Strategically add link targets so other Sphinx docs (e.g., docs.python.org, the PEPs) can link to the spec
This can be done in small increments, one PR at a time, and doesn't need signoff from the Typing Council. Contributions are welcome.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked typing spec, especially the type-system page and the referenced pull request. Identify one small group of PEP or feature references to update, then verify that relevant spec sections are linked and that any added link targets resolve correctly in the generated documentation.
