##### SUMMARY
See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/file_module.html, where for the parameter "state" it says:
"see the touch value or the ansible.builtin.copy or ansible.builtin.template module"

Neither
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/copy_module.html#ansible-collections-ansible-builtin-copy-module
nor
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/template_module.html#ansible-collections-ansible-builtin-template-module
have anything about "touch".

The "file" page also says "Even with other options (i.e mode), the file will be modified but will NOT be created if it does not exist", but a sentence later it describes "touch" value for this same parameter.

Perhaps the "see..." reference should be removed, and the note reworded like this?

"Even with other options (i.e mode), the file will be modified but will NOT be created if it does not exist. Use state touch to have the file created."

##### ANSIBLE VERSION

the Unix command C(ln -s SRC DEST) treats relative paths.
    type: path
  recurse:
    description:
    - Recursively set the specified file attributes on directory contents.
    - This applies only when C(state) is set to C(directory).
    type: bool
    default: no
    version_added: '1.1'
  force:
    description:
    - >
      Force the creation of the symlinks in two cases: the source file does
      not exist (but will appear later); the destination exists and is a file (so, we need to unlink the
      C(path) file and create symlink to the C(src) file in place of it).
    type: bool
    default: no
  follow:
    description:
    - This flag indicates that filesystem links, if they exist, should be followed.
    - Previous to Ansible 2.5, this was C(no) by default.
    type: bool
    default: yes
    version_added: '1.8'
  modification_time:
    description:
    - This parameter indicates the time the file's modification time should be set to.
    - Should be C(preserve) when no modification is required, C(YYYYMMDDHHMM.SS) when using default time format, or C(now).
    - Default is None meaning that C(preserve) is the default for C(state=[file,directory,link,hard]) and C(now) is default for C(state=touch).
