HiI,
This seems like a rather obvious Use Case but I haven't been able to find anything on it:
1. User opens Eclipse documentation for Project.
2. User reads documentation and see's a link like "Try it".
3. Cheat sheet is opened from link and presented to user.
Any simple ways to accomplish this? My overall goal is to reduce redundancy in documentation and user assistance. If I have to go through the steps of how to create a project in my Eclipse docs, I'm not going to also create a cheat sheet for it. What I'd like is just to have a seamless user experience. I guess there is one issue in that the cheatsheets would obviously not be available for stand-alone documentation, but I can live with that.
cheers,
Miles

Wow, that's great! Even works from the browser hosted help -- I was only hoping for it to work with the Dynamic help. This is one of those things that you need to put two pieces of knowledge together to make work, which is I guess what made it non-obvious to me. Thanks, Chris.
