If you are using the hyperbole package, then all you need to do is write the name of the variable in the buffer, and then M-RET (the default keybinding) will figure out what you want.
Hyperbole literally helps you define hypertext within emacs.
For instance, simply having <qrh-front-a> written, putting the point on it, and pressing M-RET will display the value in the minibuffer. This is what is known as an implicit button.
As long as qrh-front-a is a variable and not a constant, you can do something like this with what hyperbole calls an explicit button (note, you should likely use the interface to create an explicit button that will work for you:
("elispdoc" nil nil link-to-elisp-doc ('qrh-front-a) "stag@zeus" "20230724:19:29:05" nil nil)
; <(elispdoc)>
THIS button will open a fully featured help buffer and display the documentation and the value of the variable qrh-front-a.

insert-button. I think I would need some buffer on where to write, right? – Dilna Jul 22 '23 at 01:37
