The Text Formatting Rules say that you can use [[invoked]], though I'm not entirely sure what the procedures are beyond that.

You can use either [[invoked]] or In-Universe, like so:

* EnsembleDarkhorse: An InUniverse example with Bob from the ShowWithinAShow ''Bob and Alice'', who is extremely popular despite being shown to be a minor character.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Bob, from the ShowWithinAShow ''Bob and Alice'', is extremely popular in the universe of ''TV Tropes The Show'' despite being a minor character. [[invoked]]

They'll show up like this (the [[invoked]] deliberately doesn't show up, but does still mark the example as being in-universe):

Thank you.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

I think typing "InvokedTrope" works too.
