Tool tip with help and link to manual or .chm file in blender dir

The proposal is to make:

  • Tool tip with help and link to manual or .chm
  • After hold shift the Tool tip can be longer on front GUI
  • In menu user can chose that links referring to manual:
    • online websites, or
    • online pdf file (eg. with link ?page=10), or
    • local websites,
    • local pdf file (eg. with link ?page=10),
    • local manual .chm file
  • Each function in blender that have some too ltip can refer to right url, and each new blender version can more easy refer to news, changes
100%
