I think what implying is that maybe Pd *doesn’t* need to handle it. Simply, Pd 
could open a local webpage, similar to how the Processing “Find in reference” 
context menu option works when highlighting a function in the editor.

Not to say you/we can’t work out a file format/system to handle alot of this, 
but I’m thinking that html reference already works well for many other contexts 
an doesn’t require building new formats/systems to solve alot of the same 
problems.
