Would something simple like this work (adapted straight from the URLs in
the Gauche symbol index):

(symbol-base-url "https://practical-scheme.net/gauche/man/gauche-refe/")

(symbol %macroexpand
   (url "Macro-expansion.html#index-_0025macroexpand"))
(symbol %macroexpand-1
   (url "Macro-expansion.html#index-_0025macroexpand_002d1"))
(symbol (setter cgi-test-enviornment-ref)
   (url
"CGI-testing.html#index-_0028setter-cgi_002dtest_002denviornment_002dref_0029"))
(symbol (setter dict-get)
   (url "Dictionary-framework.html#index-_0028setter-dict_002dget_0029"))
(symbol (setter object-apply)
   (url
"Procedures-and-continuations.html#index-_0028setter-object_002dapply_0029"))
(symbol (setter port-buffering)
   (url "Input-and-output.html#index-_0028setter-port_002dbuffering_0029"))
(symbol (setter random-data-seed)
   (url
"Random-data-generators.html#index-_0028setter-random_002ddata_002dseed_0029"))
(symbol (setter ref)
   (url "Hashtables.html#index-_0028setter-ref_0029"))

So the symbol URLs would simply be appended to the 'symbol-base-url'.

This table could be auto-generated quite easily by HTML-scraping the
Gauche symbol index page.

I put the URLs in a separate (url ...) form in the symbol since there
could eventually be other information about a symbol too (e.g. arg
list). But we could also make a separate table with only the names and
URLs if it's easier, e.g.:

((%macroexpand
   "Macro-expansion.html#index-_0025macroexpand")
  (%macroexpand-1
   "Macro-expansion.html#index-_0025macroexpand_002d1")
  ((setter cgi-test-enviornment-ref)

"CGI-testing.html#index-_0028setter-cgi_002dtest_002denviornment_002dref_0029")
  ...)
