CID, IPNS and DNSLink

Is there any figure or any way that I can better understand how CID, IPNS and DNSLink are “connected” ? Something like a macro view?

E.g: How the identifier “docs.ipfs.io” pass through the address “k51qzi5uqu5dkkciu33khkzbcmxtyhn376i1e83tya8kuy7z9euedzyr5nhoew” and reaches the “CID” ?

Do you know https://dnslink.io/ ?

I think IPNS hacks (directly uses) DHT to refer you to a resource. which you can change what it refers to (CID).

DNSLink is another way they are bridging the legacy web to the ultra d web by putting your CID in your domain name server, godaddy or cloudflare or whatever.

CID is currently a content based id, like a hash.
