Hi Marcin,

Thank you for your feedback. We try to cover missing documentation gradually. Please understand that the platform code size is enormous and it takes time to do it.

Regarding this specific case, the @see tags are just links to related classes/methods, as there is no clear connection between them in the code. It is not a promise of documentation in the linked place. In case of missing docs, I suggest checking usages in the https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community repository or existing plugins (https://jb.gg/ipe).

If you think an SDK Docs page could be updated, please use the Feedback widget at the bottom of the page. Thanks.
