Maybe the rule could be whether the command is almost always related to
the current buffer's contents.
`describe-function' and friends I would actually consider to be
counter-examples, because they only work with Elisp.
And similarly how certain other people are attached to etags, I'd always
want to have access to Elisp documentation and sources, even when
editing unrelated code in another language.
Hence I think we need a separate, generalizable command and binding that
would work with different modes and depend on the current language or
project. That one could work like SLIME's `C-c C-d C-d'.

Let's stop at xref, for now.

How about `xref-prompt-for-identifier', to mirror CIDER's option name?
