System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 461.92

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.0.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-08-10 21:06, hash: blender/blender@fcd2d63b64
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
all sculpt tools don't navigate to a relevant page when pressing f1. This is made worse by the tooltips not showing sufficient information on tool usage (such as each tool's shortcuts
and their functionality).

There also seems to be a mismatch of data from one page to the next. The toolbar page for example only shows a small selection of the tools

Whereas the tool pages have different options.

Reason for raising this, is that I literally can't find how to remove a face set. There doesn't seem to be any mention of it on the edit face set's documentation page.

Not sure if this is specific to sculpt tools but happens with every tool present over toolbar (irrespective of object interaction mode)

Also find that lacking.

Might not be considered a bug, will let the module teams decide.

I am going to consider this a known issue, the "View Online Manual" operator uses the python function/property such as
bpy.ops.object.join() or bpy.types.Object.scale for operators this does not take into account the function parameters.

In the case of the active tools they are "activated" via the bpy.ops.wm.tool_set_by_id operator using the name parameter such as:
bpy.ops.wm.tool_set_by_id(name="builtin.select_box")

Since tools are now a vital aspect of Blender's UI it would be nice to add support to directly access the manual for these tools.

The way I can see that this could work is by creating an exception for bpy.ops.wm.tool_set_by_id such that it instead
looks for the name parameter and checks the manual_url_mappingfor something like tool.builtin.select_box.

CC @ideasman42 is this a reasonable hack/workaround?
