I'm wondering if there's any way to implement a help system in the
context of a field in conjunction with plugin_wiki.

Conceptual use:

Table('myTable',
    Field('myField', help='slug_to_help_page_sub-section')
    help='slug_to_help_page_section_index')

In a form, the user will see a help icon beside the input field, which
they can click to view a popup to display more information, and perhaps
with additional link to the main help page for detailed information. 

If plugin_wiki is not installed, then "help" is ignored. 

Seems like a nice feature to add to web2py. What do you think? Has
anyone customized w2p to do something like this?
