I sometimes create separate directories and clones for my work. In that case, there is no fix doc URL that I can bookmark. So it would be handy if meson opens docs for me with build specific URLs. I am not sure if it's worth the code and effort though. I cook up the URL using the build directory and copy paste in the browser. One could start a browser with DOCs opened as well. -- Best Wishes, Ashutosh Bapat
