helptags for unloaded plugins

[folke]

Would be great if I could somehow hook into the helptags to also show help from plugins that are not yet loaded and as such not yet on the rtp.

For lazy, this would be the paths below:

local lazy = package.loaded["lazy.core.config"]
if lazy then
  local paths = {}
  for _, plugin in pairs(lazy.plugins) do
    if not plugin._.loaded then
      table.insert(paths, plugin.dir)
    end
  end
end

What would be the best way to make this possible?

Edit, even shorter:

local lazy = package.loaded["lazy.core.util"]
if lazy then
  local paths = lazy.get_unloaded_rtp("")
end

Great idea @folke, this always bothered me when I couldn’t find help of lazy loaded plugins
