2 suggestions related to documentation lookup.
(1) have elisp-index-search's default prompt to be the symbol under
cursor. This seems useful and consistent with other emacs lookup
commands.
(2) have describe-function display a link to the elisp manual.
For (1), few people have suggested implementations here:

Makes sense. I've now added this to Emacs 27.

I don't think that can be done in general or guessed at efficiently...
