One thing to consider is that the snippet's markup `@link` tag is somewhat more powerful than the Standard doclet's `{@link}` tag. The former can be applied to regions that span multiple lines. In that case, we need to decide whether it's going to be a single link or multiple links, one per line.

The simpler, the better.
