I see that I can get exactly where I want to go by clicking in Quick Help, but what I'm wondering is if there's a way to avoid Quick Help as an intermediary. m.

Christiaan,
I suggest you re-read carefully Matt's question, and then try your suggestion, to finally realize that's not what Matt is asking about.
Matt,
This has been requested several times already. And every time, the answer was no. See for example "popup hell" in Craig's post: http://furbo.org/2011/03/17/great-writing-terrible-reading/
So if that feature is still there, it so terribly well hidden, nobody knows about it.
Jean-Denis
