Bug Description

Gtk/GNOME softwares tend to have a menu item link to their documentation, those items try to open the "help:<name>" url, that currently doesn't work

to work the snaps needs
- to ship "yelp" (and so webkitgtk)
- to include support for url handlers (so the system knows that "help:" urls are handled by yelp)
- currently yelp fails to start on a webkit fork error (needs to be investigated)
