Do you mean URLs for pages like this: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Procedure-Index.html

-> yes, or https://practical-scheme.net/gauche/man/gauche-refe/index.html

And then URLs for individual symbols, e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Pairs.html#index-cons

-> yes, or https://practical-scheme.net/gauche/man/?p=

The individual symbol URLs are tricky. They often cannot be derived from the symbol name with a simple rule. It would be best to just have a lookup table manually mapping symbols to URLs. This lookup table could be auto-generated for implementations where we can get away with a simple rule.

-> yes, such as the Guile links. I know this only works in rare cases. But:

1. if it works, it's a dead simple feature at least for some Scheme's, so why not use it where available; we'll have many such cases, where a feature only works for a few Schemes and if we only support the intersection of the features supported everywhere, our feature list will be quite small ;)
   
2. for the cases where it does not work, we can use the fallback-search; admittedly also the fallback for that is not very good, but with some more effort we can hopefully come up with something better over time...

Thanks for keeping up the work! I didn't quite understand your request.

I'm still hacking together some primitive schemedoc-features end-to-end for some of the constellations described below, and two of the most simple to-add-features would be supporting URLs for a symbol index (below: 'scheme-index-url') and a query for a symbol (below: 'scheme-query-url') in the metadata files. These links would be defined per Scheme-implementation plus ideally one default for the cases where implementation-specific links are not defined.

The index-URL can simply be supported by the existing entry for documentation/web-url, the query-URL could be supported by something like documentation/query-url.

And to handle the generic entries not only for these, but also for other metadata items, we could add a file named e.g. generic.scm, that can be searched for fallback values.

OK?
