You need to use the #:doc argument to the tech function to tell it that 
the term was defined in the Racket Reference. Thus:

.... @tech[#:doc '(lib 
"scribblings/reference/reference.scrbl")]{synchronizable events} ....

or better:

@(define reference-doc '(lib "scribblings/reference/reference.scrbl"))
.... @tech[#:doc reference-doc]{synchronizable events} ....
