    Hi, when using C-h f describe-function RET on a function defined in C,
    the hyperlink with the source file name takes me to the Emacs source
    code tree, which is very convenient.

    Doing the same on a Lisp function will instead take me to the actually
    loaded file in the installed tree which is quite less convenient since

I don't understand the distinction -- could you explain?

Are you talking about which directory is used?
We could make it try source-directory first, for Lisp files.
In case it works.
