If you only need to link to a page in gnome-help (if that's what you mean
by system help) from your standalone docs, prefix the ID of the page you
want to link to with "help:gnome-help/", for example:

<link xref="help:gnome-help/index">link to gnome-help index page</link>

This will not work for all links in Mallard however, so if you want your
pages to be part of gnome-help so that you can use automatic linking, for
example, you need to install your pages into the gnome-help installation
directory (which is /usr/share/help/C/gnome-help/ for C locale on Fedora,
and other distros will likely use similar paths). That's what we do with
Getting Started, which is basically a plugin for gnome-help.

HTH,
