Does it affect "man" when called in a terminal application (so usually "less" is used as a pager)? At least Emacs and Vim use heuristics with plenty of shortcomings to recognize cross-references to other man pages (https://manpages.debian.org - debiman works better because it has index of man pages from all packages). It is even worse with links to other sections and to notes in the same document.
doc-base maintains some document index for yelp/khelpcenter/dhelp/dochelp.
