All-

I had in my mind that it was possible to add links to tree items for external (URL) documentation. Now that I look, I see that I must have been mistaken. Was there ever such a feature or discussion of a feature?

There is PROTO_ITEM_SET_URL to mark a protocol item as a URL--which allows the user to double-click on the item to open the link in a browser.

Whether that should be used for protocol references and other hints from the developer is another question.
