What I do is with the -man switch:

    command -man

it opens the browser on the manual page for the command, such as for dmd it's https://dlang.org/dmd-windows.html

The result so convenient I added -man to the other command line tools. I thought about adding clickable urls to the error messages, but it just made the output too cluttery.
