As extensive as helpful's help-ref? He searches through each and every source
file found in the load-path. Where do I look, can you give me some pointer I can
start playing with? Or should I do build my own search?

What do you mean by "installed Emacs"? Emacs without sources? Sorry, I just woke
up, have to get that coffein going up :).
What about to just have a keyboard shortcuts; say 'R', instead of link. With
source code displayed it already looks a bit crouded. I think helpfuls buffer
looks a bit busy with all the links.
I could imagine living with just a shortcut and maybe a context menu item.
I attached a screeshots of helpful and built-in help with my yserdays patch both
showing source code for the comparison.
