It should be possible to store a list of "ApplicationXYZ"-plugins in ksycoca, together with a link/reference to a documentation file for each plugin. (The plugin should mention that in its .desktop file) That information could then be used by e.g. kio-help or so to merge-in the plugin-documentation in the documentation of that application. This assumes that: * at least the table of contents is dynamically generated by kio-help * the plugin-documentation is in a file of its own * all plugins have .desktop files.
