Adding below all the locations I found where CONIN$ and CONOUT$ are documented after running a bing search:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-handles
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/setstdhandle
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-createfilea
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/getstdhandle
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-input-buffer

The solution can be to expand one of those locations with a code sample and then link to that location whenever the terms are mentioned elsewhere.

Github searches for the terms:
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/Console-Docs/search?q=CONIN
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/Console-Docs/search?q=CONOUT
