Downgrading learn-markdown extension to 1.0.3 fixed this - link to XRef is there again.

@pmaytak The underlying Xref service is being retired so this was removed from the current version by design.

@meganbradley Does this mean all the current xref links in the docs will stop working and will need to be updated? Or is this only related to the VS Code plugin? If the xref links will still work, can a doc page be added giving examples of how to properly use the xref syntax? Thanks.

@meganbradley, I use this feature quite a lot. Is there any replacement or guidance on what to do with the feature removed?
