Hi friends! When trying to generate HTML + Javadoc, I get the following warning:

```w: [:dokkaGeneratePublicationHtml] Couldn't resolve link for io.ktor.client.plugins.ClientRequestException in &lt;file&gt;/&lt;fully qualified method&gt;```
In the KDoc, I tried

```@throws io.ktor.client.plugins.ClientRequestException &lt;description&gt;```
and

```@throws ClientRequestException &lt;description&gt;```
with no luck. It's a KMP library. Any suggestions on what's happening? First time I stumbled upon this warning, and since we enable `failOnWarning`, we cannot move. :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks!

```dokkaSourceSets.configureEach {
    externalDocumentationLinks.register("ktor") {
        url.set(URI("<https://api.ktor.io/>"))
    }
}```


Thanks, <@UFGCACPE0>! :blush: The warnings are still there, but I got a starting point. I will keep you posted on my findings.

_(Junie is trying for more than 10 minutes to find a solution..._ :sweat_smile: _)_

Unfortunately, no luck so far. :cry: I tried other combinations as well, but the warnings persist (I even get a warning with `Flow` not being resolved).

Junie tried for more than 20 minutes, and, at the end, it threw the towel by replacing `@throws` in the KDoc by `Throws ...` (plain text), so it wouldn't get processed by Dokka...

This is my original `build.gradle.kts` file: <https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/libraries/ctan-api/-/blob/development/build.gradle.kts?ref_type=heads#L169-215>

Am I right that you have only one target configured <https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/libraries/ctan-api/-/blob/development/build.gradle.kts#L92|there>?

Hi Oleg! Yes, that's correct. :wink: We plan to cover more targets in the near future, but for now it's only JVM.

Would you mind adding one more web (js/wasm.js) target or two native targets (iOS X64 and Arm64) and rechecking if the logs are present? :slightly_smiling_face:
It might be the same as in <https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/issues/3386#issuecomment-3461987029>

<@UE4SM1QEB>: <https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/libraries/ctan-api/-/blob/development/build.gradle.kts?ref_type=heads#L205-212|I added> the external documentation links (per Ivan's suggestion) and (locally) added `linuxX64()` as target. Good news! The warnings were reduced from 4 to one (two were from Ktor, one from coroutines). :tada:

There's only one remaining warning, this time from an unresolved link for `java.io.IOException`. Now that included a native target, I noticed that our common code has some JVM-specific things, but since we were only targeting the JVM, the code worked like a charm. I will check our code and fix those inconsistences. :grin:

That said, I think the issue is indeed related. I will dig more and see what I can find. Thanks!

Nice! Thanks for confirming the cause of the issue!
