Oh, absolutely.  This is essential.  Once we have a simple means of
addressing documentation hammered out, we can easily add a key to the
applications' desktop files to give a listing of keys of all relevant
documentation.

We can't necessarily always derive this information automatically. 
While you could make a correct guess for most applications, that won't
cut it in the general case.  For instance, there is no Nautilus Manual. 
Rather, Nautilus documentation is in the GNOME User Guide.
