to allude to something is to refer casually or indirectly to something. To contain a casual or indirect reference. Therefore, if you make an allusion you are making a passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication

example: "The novels title is an allusion to Shakespeare."

in other words, the title of that particular novel is alluding to something Shakesperian.
