MonoDevelop.Services.MonodocService (in the MonoDevelop.Base assembly).

No, this is not something that IProperty knows, because "P:" and the way
how help URLs are built is specific to the MonoDoc help system.

We should have a new method in MonodocService (for example, ShowHelp)
which takes as parameter a ISourceCodeElement and displays the help page
for that element. That method would check the real type of the element
and would build the correct URL for it.

The code in SourceEditorView that displays the HelpViewer window should
be moved to MonodocService.
