As you may know Max has a sidebar thingy for looking up reference data of the node :

To as far as I know (and correct me if wrong) there is yet to be equivalent in plugdata

There is documentation browser but it's more like filesystem structure of some kind ?

What would be nice is clicking on some node. And seeing input and output parameters right there. Already you can see those docstring if you hover over in/outs for a second. But just nice be able to have it right on side

Also I should mention, there is Reference rightclick menu in plugdata. But that opens in the fullscreen. In max you have option to "Full Reference" with button. But you can also just keep it on side as you work
