Good.
Since 2011 library `help-fns+.el' has had that feature.
And it's user configurable - not just on/off, by
option `help-cross-reference-manuals':
1. Choose the list of manuals to search. Default:
Emacs and Elisp manuals.
2. Choose whether to (a) search systematically,
when `*Help*' is created, and add a `manuals'
link only if search finds hits, or (b) always
create a link, and search only when the link
is followed. Default: (b).
`C-h v help-cross-reference-manuals' shows this
(`manuals' is the added link):
---
help-cross-reference-manuals is a variable defined in `help-fns+.el'.
Its value is (("emacs" "elisp"))
Documentation:
Manuals to search, for a `*Help*' buffer link to the manuals.
A cons.
The car is a list of manuals to search, or the symbol `all', to
search all. If nil, then do not create a cross-reference link.
The cdr is a boolean:
Non-`nil' means search the manuals, then create a cross-ref link:
create it only if some search hits are found.
`nil' means create a cross-ref link without searching manuals
first (but only if there are some manuals to search).
You can customize this variable.
For more information check the manuals.
