Nested URLs in Sphinx

Say I have two links in a file.rst :

.. _link1: https://link1.com
.. _link2: https://link1.com/val

Is there a way to use link1 in link2 like what I have below with custom display text for the user:

.. _link1: https://link1.com
.. _link2: link1/val

This is how I intend to use it:

See link `here <link1_>`_ for more details check `this <link2_>`_ out.

You could use the Sphinx extension extlinks.

This extension is meant to help with the common pattern of having many external links that point to URLs on one and the same site, e.g. links to bug trackers, version control web interfaces, or simply subpages in other websites. It does so by providing aliases to base URLs, so that you only need to give the subpage name when creating a link.
