This is an instance of the lack of the feature described in this ticket:

BTW, you're getting confused between flags for the "cabal haddock"
command and the "haddock" command. The --hyperlink-source flag is for
the "cabal haddock" command. The haddock tool has no such flag (or
anything equivalent) so using --haddock-options= will not help.
