That's what I did, but I'm rethinking this approach. Initially, I created an article for hobgoblin and gave it alias for plural and alternate names. That way, in an scene I would just mention that there are X number of hobgoblins and that would be linked to the hobgoblin article.
But having used RW at the table a number of times, I'm finding it easier to have stat blocks in context so I don't need to click through and load a new tab. Unlike print, there is no page limit and it is simple enough to cut and paste. Now that is what I use monster articles for: a place to have the stats handy to copy as well as detailed background info that is helpful when preparing adventures, but not needed during the game.
What I really need, is Hero Lab so I can link RW and HL together, but I chose the wrong game system (DnD 5e), which doesn't have HL support.
