Not sure when it started, but some MS apps indicate the presence of a tool tip with a tiny blue circled 'i', some tool tips have a "Tell me more" link which takes you to a web page. This is their 3rd go at least, first came WinHelp, then Compiled HTML — linking C or C++ code to CHM files was a PITA 30-40 years ago, majorly so in mission critical applications. Can't imagine that's changed with the plethora of programming languages in use today.
