The symbol value was not linked, so I had to type it to look it up. Demonstrated here with the scratch buffer, showing that lisp-interaction-mode is not linked in the second line: https://i.imgur.com/KIWQE60.png It could link to the symbol's help if the value is a symbol to make looking it up more convenient. If it's both a function and a variable then it can ask which one I want to jump to when clicked.
