What do you mean by "link scala docs"? You can get documentation for a symbol (class, method) by pressing <kbd>Ctrl-Q</kbd> (or menu View > Quick Documentation).

For me, if I create a global Scala SDK (which you don't actually need when you use sbt build projects), IntelliJ by default does not have javadocs checked, but sources, and again I think it will extract the documentation from the sources.
