Good. Since 2011 library `help-fns+.el' has had that feature. And it's user configurable - not just on/off, by option `help-cross-reference-manuals': 1. Choose the list of manuals to search. Default: Emacs and Elisp manuals. 2. Choose whether to (a) search systematically, when `*Help*' is created, and add a `manuals' link only if search finds hits, or (b) always create a link, and search only when the link is followed. Default: (b). `C-h v help-cross-reference-manuals' shows this (`manuals' is the added link): --- help-cross-reference-manuals is a variable defined in `help-fns+.el'. Its value is (("emacs" "elisp")) Documentation: Manuals to search, for a `*Help*' buffer link to the manuals. A cons. The car is a list of manuals to search, or the symbol `all', to search all. If nil, then do not create a cross-reference link. The cdr is a boolean: Non-`nil' means search the manuals, then create a cross-ref link: create it only if some search hits are found. `nil' means create a cross-ref link without searching manuals first (but only if there are some manuals to search). You can customize this variable. For more information check the manuals.
