It's pretty nice that you can link VIs to custom help documentation.
I'd also love to be able to have links to more details in the context help window for front panel controls & indicators. In many projects, I have had uses for programmatically setting description & tip properties for front panel controls, and it is really convenient to be able to make that information available without dedicating fix screen real estate for it. And once users know about the ctrl+H shortcut and general behavior, it becomes very intuitive to mouse over elements and find out more details about them.
In some cases, there might be even more info than can reasonably be packed into the context help. For example, I'm working on a UI with a tree control that has some special behaviors (e.g. symbols and dynamic custom formatting to represent additional attributes) that I would love to be able to provide a legend for, but I don't want to have to waste real estate on a static legend. I could potentially add a help menu for the whole VI, but that breaks the *context* part of context help -- I'd like to have details about specific elements on the panel, rather than for the window as a whole.
Since it is supported at the VI level, it feels like it should be relatively easy to extend the functionality to controls and indicators (or all GObjects that have the "description" property?).
...Short of that, could we add support for highlighting text in the context help window to copy & paste, and then we could at least put the help URL in as text...
