it's not hidden, just underdocumented :-/

it defines a "wps" external, used in writerperfect/Library_wpftwriter.mk

  $(eval $(call gb_Library_use_externals,wpftwriter,\
	boost_headers \
	wpd \
	wpg \
	wps \
  ))

see the definition in LinkTarget.mk:

  # this forwards to functions that must be defined in
RepositoryExternal.mk.
  # $(eval $(call gb_LinkTarget_use_external,library,external))
  define gb_LinkTarget_use_external
  $(if $(filter undefined,$(origin gb_LinkTarget__use_$(2))),\
    $(error gb_LinkTarget_use_external: unknown external: $(2)),\
    $(call gb_LinkTarget__use_$(2),$(1)))
