>AFAICS you can't avoid it. Moreover, I see no reason why you'd want to avoid this. Instead of selecting an item in a menu you now have to click a link in a popup. It takes exactly the same number of clicks, just slightly different UI.
With a multi-button mouse it's one click and a bit of scrolling; I don't keep my left hand glued to the keyboard. With an option-click followed by link-click, it's two separate motions, and that's assuming that you know about option-click to get to quick help *and* you know that you can get to full doc through quick help. As quick help never seemed that useful to me I'd never explored it enough to know.
There's this bit in the HI Guidelines about having menu options for things, with nice friendly text you can read to find what you're looking for, rather than having things happen as a result of not obvious at *all* modifier key clicks. _______________________________________________
