Item 1 is almost in place at present because
the *help[R](foo)* buffer is clickable.

   No documentation for 'foo' in specified packages and libraries:
   you could try 'help.search("foo")'

Highlight the phrase
   help.search("foo")
and press C-c C-r to send it back to the *R* buffer for execution.
