So, we're looking at:

  * (hyperdoc:lookup "myfunction" "mypackage") 

Or something like that?  Then hyperdoc would know how to go into that
package, ask for *hyperdoc-info* or whatever and figure out how to
compose the return value?  What possible return values are there?  Just
URLs?

Then Slime and REPL users can ask hyperdoc and have it as a consistent
interface while hyperdoc knows how to get documentation from possible
multiple types of systems, including what you mention about
*hyperdoc-info*?  (Although, perhaps it would be better to provide a
function that returned the URL.)

Erik.
