Could visual D add a nice way to look up Dmd's help pages on phobos and dmd functions? Basically a right mouse click on a module name, function name, class, struct, or enum can be looked up on the website then shown inside visual studio, probably in a tab.

Would be helpful if there was a "open in new tab" and "open" where open always targets the last help tab.

Actually, Visual D has something like that: F1 searches the html documentation that comes with dmd for an appropriate name and displays the respective page inside VS using the html viewer.

Unfortunately this broke when the documentation changed with dmd 2.072. Will have to investigate...
