Well, I don't know what you're doing in any Ubuntu-specific
code, but the GNOME code you ship does do this. It has been
since before I was even around. Here's a list of applications
I happen to have open right now that have help buttons that
point to specific pages: Evolution, Epiphany, Terminal, and
Empathy.

GNOME's been doing this since the inception of the ghelp URI
scheme, which dates back to at least GNOME 2.0.0. I'm kind of
surprised people don't know this.
