If we add an index to a doc manually, as in suggestion 1, then it will
be useful even without special "index display" - it will just show as
one of the sections of your document (usually the last one). If you
are trying to find info about some topic, you just look at this
section, find (manually) the topic you need, and click on the provided
link. Much as with printed books.

Of course, having a special index display with help option would be
better. Do you have any estimates how soon it will be implemented in
Nautilus? "after Gnome 1.4" is rather vague...

Best,
Sasha
