Of course `C-h o RET` works OK most of the time, but it's not the same as having the var/fun name highlighted as a link that you can click. We could even have a way to dynamically bring the docstring into the Info manual (the same external-refs that allows an ad-hoc script to add the docstrings to the printed version could be used to dynamically insert the docstring into the *Info* buffer on-the-fly).
