Description

Transferring this issue from: https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-minecraft/issues/1878
RE: https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-minecraft/issues/1877

@Jaqster posted:

Right-clicking on some values/API's in typescript, and selecting Help opens side-docs pane, but doesn't load anything. If we don't have documentation, then we should hide the Help option in the context menu.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Reproduce the context-help behavior for Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript values, then trace the side-docs lookup and context-menu handling; done means available documentation loads and the Help option is hidden when documentation is unavailable.
