Well we have that, though not by clicking.

It's like the second thing I teach people starting with Smalltalk,  
who usually wonder (or complain) about the lack of documentation. I  
tell them, that the documentation is right there, hyperlinked in the  
source code, and searchable, too. Cmd-n takes you to usage examples,  
whereas Cmd-m takes you to the definition. Cmd-Shift-W lets you  
search, and the Method Finder even finds stuff by example.

The first thing of course I mention is that Smalltalk is different ;-)

And of course I know that. :) It was just an example, and it is a bit
different when you can just click-click-click.
I still find the Forth community (viewing Factor as a kind of Forth)
worth gleaning at (and other communities too - like Haskell people seem
to be doing weird things ;)).
