I added a button to the IDE built in fpdoc editor to automatically create a 'see
also' link to the next documented ancestor entry.

That's an amazing offer.

fpdoc already knows the ancestor classes. So it should be possible to find out
the ancestor property/method/variable, right? (It's ok if the overridden method
search is not 100% perfect)

If yes, then it might be possible to traverse through all ancestors and find the
next existing short description, right?
