I sometimes create separate directories and clones for my work. In
that case, there is no fix doc URL that I can bookmark. So it would be
handy if meson opens docs for me with build specific URLs. I am not
sure if it's worth the code and effort though. I cook up the URL using
the build directory and copy paste in the browser. One could start a
browser with DOCs opened as well.
