There is now, yes.

There's this, from that good answer:

  The automatic help system from pressing C-h
  (help-char) after a prefix key isn't aware of
  translation maps, which is why it doesn't help here.

Is that unawareness by design?  Inevitable?  Or
is it feasible to imagine an enhancement that
lets you use `C-h' in a given major mode to see
the `C-c C-x' bindings in that mode?

If that's not a ridiculous enhancement request
then consider this report to request it.  If
no such enhancement is feasible or makes sense
then feel free to close this.  Thx.
