Usage Note
Alusión is typically more indirect than referencia — it hints at something without naming it outright. The phrase hacer alusión a (to allude to) is the standard collocation. The verb aludir (to allude) is often used impersonally: sin aludir a nadie en particular (without referring to anyone in particular).
Examples
"Hizo una alusión velada al escándalo."
Natural Translation
He made a veiled allusion to the scandal.
