• [ ] there is another problem or use case I´m trying to address.

There's a dedicated field dataSetInformation/referenceToExternalDocumentation for referencing an arbitrary number of external documentation sources.

At this point it is strongly suggested to mention the item required by the standard ("chapter 7.1, l), information on explanatory material") in the format documentation.
