Problem/Motivation

As a module or feature author, i want to give contextual information to users.

Proposed resolution

* Add a block "Relevant help topics" (or re-purpose the help block for it)
* If a help topic ( #2920309: Add experimental module for Help Topics ) links to a page, add a backlink to that help topic to said block
* Offer a way for help authors to suppress that backlink (e.g. via rel="nobacklink")
* Consider opening the backlink in a modal or target=_blank (maybe configurable)

See a prototype of this in the Help Topics Backlinks contrib module.

Remaining tasks

* Implement #2664830: Add search capability to help topics and include link indexing
* The providing said block is trivial
