Say as an example we do (describe-variable (quote parens-require-spaces)),
this gives us a help page:
----------------------------
parens-require-spaces's value is 
t

Documentation:
Non-nil => `insert-parentheses' should insert whitespace as needed.

You can customize this variable.

Defined in `emacs-lisp/lisp'.
-------------------------
if we click on `insert-parentheses' we get to a help page with a
friendly back button.  If we click on `emacs-lisp/lisp' there is no
back button, the mouse user is left abandoned at emacs-lisp/lisp,
trust shattered, spirit squished, with the only way back being a
cruel manual (switch-to-buffer "*Help*").  In this case perhaps adding
a 'back' item to the principal menu bar would help, or something like
that, I don't know.

[I haven't tried the customize choice yet.]
