  externalSymbolLinkMappings: {
    "@pulumi/random": {
      "*": "https://example.com"
    }
  },
};

export default config;

[Gerrit0]

I'm going to wait until Sunday to publish 0.26.9 as I just made a release earlier today, just in case more issues crop up.

"typedoc": "github:TypeStrong/typedoc#1cefc011948fa06f798a0763ba5cc9d32f6ac04e"

can be used to install TypeDoc with this patch applied in the meantime
