Description

It would be pretty cool if Biblioteca had some sort of API that let other apps browse it's content and present it to the user.

This could be used by IDE/editor plugins / LSPs to jump to a specific documentation within Biblioteca.

A good option would maybe be some sort of URI scheme that Biblioteca can handle?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping Biblioteca's current documentation navigation and lookup flow, then define how an external IDE, editor plugin, or LSP would identify a specific document. Done means an agreed API or URI approach that other applications can use to browse directly to documentation.
