Subject: 31.0.50; Links to minor mode variables bring to minor mode (the
 function)
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2024 06:17:32 +0000

When a minor-mode docstring doesn't specify what ARG does, a generic
mode is added to this docstring, this additional docstring is specified
in `easy-mmode--arg-docstring` and contains this sentence:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer,
evaluate `%s'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When hitting RET on this link to the mode variable from the docstring,
the link brings back to this same docstring i.e. the function.

For example try C-h f bug-reference-mode and hit RET on the link to
`bug-reference-mode', it bring back to this same docstring.

A possible fix is specifying the word "variable" before the link in
`easy-mmode--arg-docstring`:
