Toggle WordPress Help Menu

It’s not possible (as far as I know) to currently link directly to a help tab in WordPress. Here’s the jQuery solution I cooked up:

/**
 * Toggle the WP help menu tab by linking to the tab id
 * 
 * The anchor must have a rel of wp-help
 */
$('a[rel="wp-help"]').click(function() 
		$('#contextual-help-link').click();
	
	
	// Click on the tab link inside the help wrapper
	$('#screen-meta a[href*="' + $(this).attr('href').replace('#', '') +'"]').click();
	
	// We're just anchor linking; don't go anywhere
	return false;
);

If the tab’s ID that you pass to $screen->add_help_tab() is example-plugin, then you could create a link like this: <a href="#example-plugin" rel="wp-help">View the help docs</a>.
