Summary
This makes it possible to link to documentation in the core Qiskit
components (Terra, Aer and IBMQ Provider) using regular Sphinx
references.
Details and comments
Stemming from a comment in a review where Chris asked about linking to core Qiskit documentation.
I'm not sure why, but it seems like Sphinx won't search in Intersphinx' inventories if you use the shorthand
:class:`.QuantumVolume`lookup (perhaps for speed concerns), but fully qualified access (in terms of the names objects have in Sphinx) should work fine.
