Sorry, I kind of dropped the ball on this, and everything else really; a
bit of a challenging time here.

This makes the warning go away, but I have to wonder if it's the right
fix - wouldn't it be better to avoid trying to create a cross-reference
entirely in cases where it clearly won't work?  Or am I missing
something here?
