Research direction

Begin with the linked setter comments in ServiceDiscoveryOptions.java and Record.java, then compare the generated entries in dataobjects.adoc. Trace how Javadoc links are converted into generated JavaScript comments. Done means links are retained correctly rather than omitted or rendered as the word “link”; no test entry point is named in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Data objects with setter method comments that contain links like the backendConfiguration property of ServiceDiscoveryOptions or the location property of Record generate Javascript comments where the link is either omitted or converted to the word 'link'.
