In reStructuredText, how to put an inline literal inside of a hyperlink?

Question

In my reStructuredText document, I have a section defined like so:

Update the ``PATH`` Environment Variable
----------------------------------------
<         


        

Answer 1

With a workaround, yes -- it is possible (hinted from @mzjn's comment).

For example:

.. |dummy| replace:: Update the ``PATH`` Environment Variable
.. _dummy:

Update the ``PATH`` Environment Variable
----------------------------------------

* |dummy|_

This is achieved by taking advantage of the replace directive.
