You can insert linebreaks in the link target::

  test_
  
  .. _test: http://exam
            ple.org
          
results in the pseudoxml output ::

  <document source="/tmp/url.rst">
      <paragraph>
          <reference name="test" refuri="http://example.org">
              test
      <target ids="test" names="test" refuri="http://example.org">

with the line break and leading whitespace removed from the URL.
