In recent user help versions (not six year old versions), 
https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/default-browser.html
links to the desktop environment help to explain how to change which
web browser to open when clicking on links in Evolution.

Anything else should exactly NOT be in the Evolution handbook. 
Because it should be in desktop environment user docs, not in Evolution
user docs. Plus I'd expect your distro / sysadmin to set up and/or
document such underlying stuff anyway...
