One advantage of this approach is you can craft your *own* short command description, if the docstring or command name is not clear to you (things like org-ctrl-return being prime examples).  But what about instead of a separate command to remember, just creating an (optional) section in the existing help-quick popup, for local commands?  where-is-internal would consult the global keymap for the global commands, and the current buffer’s keymap for the locals.
