There isn't currently any reliable way to detect if any other document is 
installed, and therefore no completely reliable way to link between them.  
The correct way (olinks) is not entirely implemented at this time.

Further, we can't be assured people are reading the documentation installed on 
their own computer, don't forget docs.kde.org and other locations where the 
documents are available online.

For KControl, there have been some exceptions, using ulinks, but they are far 
between.  More common is to specify it in full: 

"Type help:/foo in &konqueror; or select <menuchoice><guimenu>Help</
guimenu><guimenuitem>Foo Handbook</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from within 
&foo; for more information."
