I might be mistaken, but I don't think this is what I had in mind.  My
use case is exactly like described above: I type "C-h v" or "C-h f",
which displays the *Help* buffer in the other window.  Then I want to
go to the source where the variable or function are defined, but
without the need to switch to the window showing *Help*.

Thanks.
