<nod>, this is definitely a big gap in the current ecosystem. See bskinn/sphobjinv#148 and bskinn/sphobjinv#19.

High-level, all any given non-Sphinx docset really needs is something (e.g., a webscraper) that identifies all the relevant artifacts and maps the info about them into the objects.inv data fields structure, which can then be assembled into a proper objects.inv by sphobjinv.

A few examples I've found of sphobjinv users building custom objects.inv files:

Hey, nice project here!

MVP webscraper could link to the object definition directly in publicly available code (like Github)
