Look at the code that is executed when you press F2 key.

It finds which symbol of which class the word under the cursor is. If the 
class is not native, then it moves the cursor to the symbol definition in the 
class.

It is just matter of doing the same thing, but instead of moving the cursor to 
a non-native class, you open the help browser to the symbol of the native 
class that was found.
