Perhaps doable via a {see section #X.Y} e.g.:

              | *       | _example* {see #X.Y} | [this doc]  |

X.Y Reserved _example* label
    For use in RFC documentation describing behaviour applicable to
any label associate with any RR type. More awesome text also goes
here.

I'm not sure about the strictness requirements for this kind of table for IANA.

Also, this doesn't address whether it's an actually useful suggestion. :-)
