Yes and no.  Providing useful "feedback" is enough.  If the wanted doc
isn't installed the help system should offer (at least):

    +--------------------------------------------+
    |                                            |
    | You asked for a document which isn't       |
    | available on your local system.            |
    |                                            |
    | [x] Read the doc your local GNOME help     |
    |     server.                                |
    | [ ] Read the doc online at www.gnome.org.  |
    | [ ] Fetch the sources to install them      |
    |     locally.                               |
    |                                            |
    +--------------------------------------------+
    |    < OK >                   < Cancel >     |
    +--------------------------------------------+

Of course, a local GNOME help server has to be available and properly
configured.  Otherwise this choice should not be offered.
