I like this idea, but in my opinion it should be generalized into a glossary/index of
help items and topics; and an API that lets us create help links/popups that lead into the
glossary. Popups will help reduce clutter for expert users, and an overall help glossary
will give a starting place for new users that might be confused.

This is a great move in the direction of sharing UI patterns between
projects. Matt, your mock-up is spot-on.
