Summary:
There is no way to put a link to a relevant part of the Documentation and API Reference in code (as a comment.) The only way to do it is with a link to HTML page at developer.apple.com.

For example, deprecated UIView methods are put in code as:

// can't use this because it's deprecated
// https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/uiview_class/DeprecationAppendix/AppendixADeprecatedAPI.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006816-AppendixA

And when you click on that link it opens in a browser, not the documentation viewer.

I'd rather be able to do this:

// can't use this because it's deprecated
// docs:///library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/uiview_class/DeprecationAppendix/AppendixADeprecatedAPI.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006816-AppendixA

And have it open in the documentation viewer.
