Description

The tooltip form become a help link when hovering on the function name.
If the function is registered with help text, IntelliSense attempts to open the help url, or the chm file and topic using a call to `System.Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp`.

Help file links and the `Help.ShowHelp` call don't work anymore under recent Excel versions - see also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/308412/is-the-latest-version-of-excel-365-blocking-htmlhe.html

We might examine trying to call `Application.Help` instead.
