See thread "How to make Emacs popular again." That's not hard to do, and it's been done (e.g. in `help-fns+.el'). The reverse isn't true. (But of course `C-h S' works anywhere.) Better to show *Help*, which would have not only a link to the relevant node(s) in manual(s) but also links to the functions, vars, and faces mentioned in the *Help*.
