Liams Idea made it into GIMP: the tips dialog now provides a link to more information in the user manual which covers the topic displayed as a tip.

I liked the idea providing a button which links to the manual and started hacking. My first attempt used a third button in the dialog. Peter Sikking disagreed with a third button. The buttons become to prominent in the dialog and a link should be displayed. Sven helped in providing useful development information. This feature will be available in the next stable release of GIMP (2.6).
