For hard cases, the :helpgrep commands works wonders. See ":help
:helpgrep" without the quotes. In fact, the whole helphelp.txt
helpfile is a well-written cheatsheet about using the help.

Or if you are willing to type the filename (or "put" it onto the
command-line from a register, maybe but not mandatorily the
alternate-file register, see ":help c_CTRL-R") rather than find it
under the cursor, you could also use ":e +44 path/to/filename.ext"
(see ":help +cmd") (With a plus sign but no number it goes to the last
line.)

Best regards,
Tony.
