Currently, preamble code must be added in a configuration file or command
line option.

See http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/config.html
and look for

> latex_preamble or stylesheet


(BTW: there is a long-standing issue/discussion about allowing preamble code
in an rST document, see http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/dev/todo.html

  misc.raw: add a "destination" option to the "raw" directive?
  
  .. raw:: html
     :destination: head
  
     <link ...>
  
  It needs thought & discussion though, to come up with a consistent set of
  destination labels and consistent behavior.
