Hi all. I'm part of the Documentation team, currently working on the Offline Help for LibreOffice. I've noticed that a number of components in the the UI have missing or wrong HIDs (E.g. Bug 159505 (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159505). This makes it impossible to link them to the correct Help page. As a result there are a number of Documentation bugs that we can't address.The problem seems to mainly affect the Menu Bar, which seems to work a little differently from other parts of the UI. I gather that adding the HIDs would involve editing the source code for the relevant component.Would somebody be willing to show me how to find the right files and add the HIDs?
I don't have much experience with help IDs, but `weld::Menu::set_item_help_id` (see include/vcl/weld.hxx) and `Menu::SetHelpId` (see `include/vcl/menu.hxx`) look related.
For example, for the second case (Window > "Document Name") from tdf#159505, `WindowListMenuController::itemActivated` looks like the place where the menu entry is inserted: [1]
So maybe, adding a
pVCLMenu->SetHelpId(nItemId, THE_PROPER_HELP_ID);
with the proper help ID after that is what's needed?
