Don't know, if there is already a issue like this. I can't imagine, that I am the first one, but I didn't found anything ;)

However, PHPs internal types should be linked to the PHP manual. This should include the scalar- and pseudo-types. Additional it would be nice to allow linking to arbitrary sources using a list with name => url mappings. For example a DocBlox-generated API provides a link (e.g. in the sidebar) to download a XML with all elements and their (relative) paths. Now I can download the xml and use the config

Maybe DocBlox can try to download the XML itself

I would avoid absolute paths within this xml, because else the api is not moveable anymore. For example one may download the Zend-API, save it somewhere local and now he can change the config setting to

The come back to the point from the beginning: The links to the PHPs manual could be provided in such a XML without any special handling :)
