Would "..about types supported by the Delta Lake connector" be specific enough?

Actually I prefer Manfred's suggestion of "...for more information about supported data types in Delta Lake" since it's not about Trino, this connector, or any other Trino-specific component.

If I can nit-pick a little more, could be even more clear that we're talking about the Delta Lake format and not the connector:
"for more information about supported data types in the Delta Lake table format specification."
Either way, this is not the right link. I think you want: https://github.com/delta-io/delta/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md#primitive-types
The Databricks link includes all types that are in the SparkSQL language but not all of them are supported in DL

Reworded and updated the link to point to the Delta protocol specification.
