I'm not really sure about this, but Writing R Extensions says about
these forms of \link that they are seldom needed, except when linking to
"not-yet-installed packages". I think if you were to have installed
limma without first building it (e.g., R CMD INSTALL limma rather than R
CMD INSTALL limma_3.37.1.zip or biocLite("limma")) then the help pages
might not have been indexed, so R doesn't know how to find lmFit.
It's really hard to know without more context.

Good day,
Indeed, it is in the Suggests component of the dependency specification. I
didn't find any extra requirements for this case in the Cross-references
section of Writing R Extensions, so I'm unsure of where to read about the rule.
