I'm going to take a another doubt, couldn't Lazarus open the help using the default browser instead of a third party tool?

Hello, Is there some IDE configuration to open the online help of a selected identifier instead of the "Code Brower" window?

The Code Browser opens, if the IDE can't find the declaration of the identifier. So it does not know the Online Help URL.

You can install an offline help like ChmHelpPkg. This will then search the identifier in the offline help.
