Description

The Appenders documentation page doesn't seem to mention all the cases in which lookups/property substitution are applied at runtime.

For example, the Routing Appender evidently does runtime substitution, as mentioned in https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#PropertySubstitution . This page also says "Not all elements support resolving variables at runtime. Components that do will specifically call that out in their documentation. "

However this is not called out in https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html#RoutingAppender

If "their documentation" means some other page, it'd be good to link to it.
