Need to create new links to docs in the archive

What is the meaning of the following: "If there is a doclink in other documents pointing to the documents being archived or other references like a keyed lookup, in such cases you should have a stub document in the application with a doclink or reference to the archived documents in the archive database."
If you archive documents that are included as a doc-link in documents that will not be archived, you will lose your link or lookup since they are now in the archive database. You will need to fix the problem by creating new links to the document in the archive database.
