But, Joar, do you not see that this is not (a) what Rick is asking for and (b) what Xcode used to be able to do? Option-DoubleClick performs the *search* in the organizer, but it doesn't display the actual search result - it doesn't *go* to the actual documentation on the actual thing you double-clicked on. This was a very, very important feature of Xcode 3: you could jump *instantly* from a term to the full documentation on that term. Now, that same operation is a multi-clicky-bangy sequence; either:

option-click to see the little pop-up window
click again, on the book icon to go to the actual documentation

or:

option-double-click to perform the search
click again on the correct search result to go to the actual document
