Actually, this works fine and is available for use --- if you click with that question mark on a view or control that has help attached to it, it will be shown in a glorified tooltip.

See NSHelpManager,h:

- (void)setContextHelp:(NSAttributedString *)attrString forObject:(id)object;

Looks like the OpenStep help-on-UI-element feature: in those days, you could click to anything with the question mark, and the appropriate help page occurred.

That is, in theory ;) IIRC, it never worked quite well.
