I think that's not the best solution for this problem, since there's
already enough information to make such a connection automatically in
the great majority of cases.

Yes; that would be very bad.
Customization buffers are filled with all sorts of crap that's
completely unnecessary when you just want to see a quick description of
a variable (which is about 99% of the time for me), which would distract
greatly from the actual documentation (not to mention ballooning the
size of help buffers to something absurd).
