Description

Feature Spec

When new users are trying out winglang, many times they try the hello wing example, which opens nicely on Wing Console.
However, it is not trivial to figure out each resource's purpose. We recently saw that on a twitch review: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1913950296 (time: 00:13:55).

I'd expect a way to see a link to the Counter doc on Wing Console, but there might be better ways to address this pain via a different UX. I'll leave it to the experts.

Research direction

Start by exploring the Wing Console using the hello wing example and compare the Counter resource with its linked documentation. Define a concrete way for beginners to understand resource purposes, then validate that the chosen UX makes the Counter documentation or equivalent guidance discoverable in the Console.
