Description

If you have documentation that pools docstrings from various packages, it becomes cumbersome to track down where failing links are located.

Could Documenter print the page the error is occurring on? I think it already does this for cross references. Capture https://buildkite.com/julialang/diffeqdocs-dot-jl/builds/14#018673f4-48b0-4668-b3ad-f3d119762be2/1245-1848 (Picture included since link will be inaccessible to most.)
