Have a Direct Link to the Help File for FPGA Property and Invoke Nodes

Status: New

On PC and RT targets, when you right click on a specific property in a property node, you can directly open the help for that property:

However, on an FPGA target, you can't open the Help for a specific property or method by right clicking:

What happens if you click on 'Help'? It takes you to a page that explains the purpose of a property node. Rarely if ever is that what I actually want. Instead, I want to know about 'Linearization Coefficient 1.' My only option is to open up the Help and search for that specific property, which may or may not be easy to find.

 

My suggestion is to add a direct link to the help for every FPGA property and method in the right click menu.
