This was the answer for my question: A macro interface to the tags/tips database, ie loaded files, tags/tips loaded from these files, tips text, tags location (file, line or search pattern, ...), ...
with this generic macro interface to this db, you can easily build your completion. And your find_completion() function should also made generic, ie given a list/array of strings and a prefix and return all prefix-matches.
