Clickable URL/help field for buttons

Very often, to solve problems, it's necessary to go to the Internet to the sites of programs or codes called by certain buttons.
It would be much more convenient don't dig into folders, help files, forums in search of the desired URL, but to immediately open it in the browser by clicking the context menu item (by analogy with the start/working path). The same applies to help files (chm, hlp, pdf, etc.).
Example menu item name if it is filled in — "Go to help or source".

The tooltip has a maximum of 259 characters.

Perhaps such addresses could be made clickable in the tooltip (without having to copy the button into a text editor)?

The hint disappears immediately after removing the mouse pointer from the button. There's nowhere to click.
And that would be a half-solution, if not a quaternary one.
It is important that these links or help paths are not displayed.

Good idea.
Support for such a context menu entry for buttons +
Would be also helpful for File://path pointing to local descriptions.

It's possible without File://. Any run command. See the second code.
For example: %COMMANDER_PATH%\Programs\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Programs\ProgramName\Help.pdf"
