For some time I've been thinking about a system where the documentation
and the action are mixed together.

A sort of click on a hyperlink and part of the action is done for you.
The closest, unfortunately, I've seen is the Windows help / action
thingies. Even these are done poorly and not deeply enough.

It just strikes me that the indexing of the help material;
howtos, man and info pages, could be done more systematically
and _combinably_, and that when you have the material, it doesn't
lead you enough along the path of how to do it (generally
assuming knowledge of the whole document).

Perhaps what I am asking is not appropriate, since often more
knowledge is needed to do anything useful.

There are some packages with commands and options, but I was
thinking deeper embedding / linking.
