[kicad-users] While I was reading the docs, I thought of a wish list item

[KeepIt SimpleStupid]

Documentation for any project seems to be a necessary
evil.  I'm not sure how how this suggestion might be
implemented, but here goes.

Create a mechanism to link the datasheet of a
component to the component.

Each component has a few optional fields.

1) URL of manufacturer's data sheet
2) Local directory to retreive data sheet.

Whether or not to 1) Use manufacturer's URL, 2) Local
directory and/or whether or not to place a copy of the
datasheet in the project directory.
