Not that I can see. The destination of that link refers to 
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms and immediately afterwards says "See the manual page 
for more information".

Not surprising, but what might lead you to do that? If I'm advised to look at 
the manual page for OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms, and I want to use the man 
command to do it, I type:

   man OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms

If I'm on the web as in this case I'd either click on the hyperlink given in 
the FAQ answer, or use Google:

   http://lmgtfy.com/?q=OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms

Perhaps "the thing linked to by the link adjacent to the reference to the 
manual"? Though since the phrase "openssl manual" doesn't occur on the FAQ 
page, it's moot.

The man page is there with 
0.9.8a.______________________________________________________________________
