That doesn't work well with cross-links in the doc strings, because
you need to type the name of the symbol. I want a command that will
do the equivalent of TAB in the Help buffer, but which will work from
another buffer.

I think this should make it clear the variable/face are those whose
doc string is being shown in *Help*.
