Well a lot of the times I'm browsing the phobos library documentation I want to go to the source code, but there's no easy way to go there directly from the docs. Some modules have a link to the source file but I think that's done manually as many of them don't. I think it'd be beneficial to have a way to tell the doc generator to include a "go to source" button at each doc entry of function/type. With the option to set a github repo or other link as the destination of the link, it should also include the line number when outputting the docs. Might be a bit specific for github there though, as setting the line number just involves adding a number to the end of the link. Whereas being able to set a local file as a link might be desired as well. But I don't think you can tell the OS to open the file at a certain line with just a file uri.
