In the component library editor, it is possible to set a document file 
(reference to a PDF file usually).

After setting this document reference, the right click menu on that component 
now includes a "DOC" menu item.  Clicking it will bring up the PDF file for 
that component.  (very nice indeed)

Some components (such as 0805 caps, resistors, etc) use pretty generic 
schematic component libraries.  The PDF file for a particular component may not 
be available at schematic component library editor time.

I have tried adding a new field in the schematic editor (such as "Doc") and 
there provide the path to the particular component's PDF file.  However, I am 
not successful in getting the "DOC" menu item to come up unless the component 
library edit created that reference.

Does anyone know how to add a doc reference at the schematic level that will 
bring up the "DOC" menu item?
