I think there are two parts to your question:

1. You can create a link in DOORS, pointing to an external artifact, say Test Case in RQM.
>>This, you can achieve normally, the way you'd create any External link. Refer to create perm in DOORS for External Links

2. You can create a link in an external artifact, say Test Case in RQM, pointing to an object in DOORS.
>>This will require usage of HTTP perms. These are documented in the latest release of DXL Reference Manual (9.6).
In a nutshell, you'll need to do the following:
    a. Perform a GET on the resource you need to create link in (say Test Case)
    b. Modify the body of the response, to include link representation. For example, if it is a Test Case, then the relationship will be Validated By. So the line you'll need to necessarily add is:
<oslc_qm:validatesRequirement rdf:resource="https://clmserver:8443/qm/asd/xxxxxxxx" />
With this modified body, perform a PUT on the same resource URL. You'll need to use an If-Match header while performing the PUT, whose value will be the value of ETag header you'd have got as response header of previous GET.

Hope that helps..
