For example, ‘C-h f’ (describe-function) first calls a back-end function
that collects all information about a function and returns it in a such form:

  ((type . function)
   (name . "car")
   (source-file . "src/data.c")
   (Info-node . "(elisp) List Elements")
   (docstring . ...)
   ...)

Then it gives this data to a front-end function that will render it
as buttonized text in the Help buffer, or as html in a eww buffer,
or as Info markup in an Info buffer, etc.

But ‘C-x 4 0’ and ‘C-x 4 4’ already do what is needed,
and indeed I tested these work fine: ‘C-x 4 0 down-mouse-3’.
