In some documentation for a package I am working on I have

The link to varimax works, but not the one to promax. Promax is an alias under \name{varimax}. This kind of link works within a package, but I'm not sure if it is suppose to work when it is a link to another package. Is this a known limitation or bug, or something I should explore more carefully?
Definitely the latter! Don't include [stats] (why are you including it?), or do read the documentation in R-exts:
There are optional arguments specified as \link[pkg]{foo} and
\link[pkg:bar]{foo} to link to the package pkg with topic (file?)
foo and bar respectively.so you need \code{\link[stats:varimax]{promax}}. Note the difference between `topic' and `alias' here.
You only need the [] to disambiguate crossreferences, or to refer to packages that might not yet be installed, which does not apply to [stats].
