Again, welcome! — billinghurst sDrewth 06:04, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

You asked about linking

You asked about linking and this is covered in Wikisource:Style guide#Wikilinks. In short, yes, we link works to works in a simple internal wikilink, even when it creates a red link. — billinghurst sDrewth 06:06, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

To note: We also generally try not to annotate a work (see Wikisource:Annotations), though an external link like that can be a toss of the coin. Often the approach would be to get the linkable work on-wiki. An alternative is we do allow for linking to on-line, freely available, works from "Author:" pages, though not going to work as well in an example of a title, as is this case. — billinghurst sDrewth 06:18, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
