Both of the following forms return `"test"`, so I think it should be possible (and easy). ``` elisp (documentation (lambda () "test")) (documentation '(lambda () "test")) ```

I think the way Embark works on a regular buffer is too Elisp-centric. Hopefully most people spend most of their time in Emacs doing other things! For the purposes of...

From Elisp buffer, does xref work for you, @oantolin? `xref-find-definitions` has the additional benefit that you can go back to where you were before with `xref-pop-marker-stack`. Those things also have...

> What actions are appropriate for non-Emacs Lisp symbols besides xref-find-definitions and display-local-help? That's all there is, I think.

Good, now that I think about it, "identifier" is really the standard terminology. Symbols go by the weird name of "string" in most languages these days :rofl:

@TxGVNN I feel like this is essentially not an Embark-specific matter, unless we're discussing the need of an Embark wrapper for an already existing functionality. Do you need to be...
