Description

It'd be awesome to have a "Usage" icon next to the two existing icons (Verify Properties, and Add Property) on the Properties tab of the configuration's view of the components. This icon would open the Usage documentation of the component. And when closing the documentation, it'd bring us back on the configuration's view.

I sometime find myself doing a lot of back and forth in the UI to access the additional details documentation of a component when configuring it (closing the configuration view, right click on the component and click "View usage", or click on the doc icon for controller services / reporting tasks).
