Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 13
### What happened
After adding a library (via menu Tools->Libraries) and configuring javadoc setting, the Javadoc is properly opened in browser when selected via Project Browser -> Libraries -> Show Javadoc.
But if Javadoc should be shown via context menu "Show Javadoc" in source code, the status message "Cannot perform Show javadoc here" is shown.
Class is proper imported, because building the project and "Navigate -> Go to source" works as expected.
### How to reproduce

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure from the Java source editor's context menu after configuring Javadoc through Tools -> Libraries. Compare it with Project Browser -> Libraries -> Show Javadoc, and verify that the source context-menu action opens the configured Javadoc instead of showing "Cannot perform Show javadoc here."
