For instance, a completion table could provide some kind of "further info" property so you can preview the documentation of an item mid-completion. Also, and eldoc source could provide a "further info" hyperlink pointing to the info or man page. (This is mostly speculation, of course.) If I were to retire something, it would be the (file)node syntax for info pages. (My digestif TeX language server provides links to the documentation of various packages, typically PDF files. It checks if the PDF exists locally and gives a file:// link, otherwise a https:// link to CTAN. But it would be much better to just provide a =E2=80=9Ctexinfo:=E2=80=9D li= nk and let the editor decide how to display that. Of course I don't do this because no editor would support it OOTB, but I think the concept makes sense.)
