Adding a way to map boost symbols to their reference page

[Narase33]

cppreference.com has some nice ways to map, lets say, std::vector to their doc pages. You have a symbol table and their old search engine. Both make it quite convenient to learn about a symbol youre seeing somewhere (not just as a human, but also for programs/web scrapers). Making it possible for bots to find a symbol and link against their documentation is a huge benefit for beginners that never really got into boost.

...building the required index from the library source code and its documentation is a planned MrDox feature (https://github.com/cppalliance/mrdox)

Oh, thank you and sorry. I posted this suggestion on Reddit yesterday and was told to post an issue here (by a maintainer?).

I was able to move it, thanks

@Narase33 do you have a reference of how the process works for cppreference? We might want to replicate some of it or at least use it in an antora extension to generate links to cppreference ourselves.

Unfortunately not, Im just an enduser

That's kind of my question. What does this process look like for an enduser?
