Uhm, *interlinked* is quite a mess.  The automatic documentation 
generator in examples/Publish.st does not generate many links (none for 
the parts derived from user source code) because there is no standard.  
It generates indexes when it outputs Texinfo, though.

But you can get everything you want from the Class and CompiledMethod 
objects: class comment, class category, variables, method source code, 
and so on.  Note that some of the methods you need are in the 
superclasses, Behavior and CompiledCode respectively.
