What does Open Quickly want, that it gets if there happens to be a project open in front of me, that it doesn't get if there isn't? I don't want to open a project merely in order to go to a header file, I just want to *go* there - quickly. Is there a way? m.

File names do not uniquely identify headers. On a standard installation of Xcode 4.2.1, you'll have three headers with the same name, one per SDK (more, if it's a framework that's duplicated in the simulator SDKs). Open Quickly needs an active SDK to put a context on the file name (all the more so if you use it to search for a symbol), so you have to have a project open to provide the context.
Documentation has a related problem: Pages are shared among SDKs (or duplicated without alteration) so the page has only the name, not the path to the version of the file that you have in mind. Given how disjoint the publications and developer-tools groups are, there may not be a way to coordinate the docs with the right (which I am sure they will insist on) of dev tools to restructure the SDKs.
Quick Help manages to do it, but it probably relies on the project's index, since you can get it only when you select a symbol that's in your code.
