See below.

There are two syntaxs: the one within the code block, which is (ref:xxx)
by default and can be changed, and the one outside the block, which is
(xxx), and cannot be changed. See the following example from the manual:

     #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n -r
     (save-excursion                  (ref:sc)
        (goto-char (point-min)))      (ref:jump)
     #+END_SRC
     In line [[(sc)]] we remember the current position.  [[(jump)][Line (jump)]]
     jumps to point-min.
