I completely forgot about it. Funny I think I was person why ask for Context Action support in the first place. ;-)

But plugin is going to be better for documentation since it:

1) Will be able to search different documentation type. (Call devhelp only if nothing was found in man)
2) Will include sane defaults exactly for documentatin right after install. (configuring Context Actions for different filetypes is not very interesting thing to do).
3) Will be able to place documentation inside geany buffer, not just call external program.
