Personally, I think the term "Help" or "LibreOffice Help" is
ambiguous. I wish there were a term for
those-help-files-included-in-an-application, but I don't think one
exists :-)

I think the reason that we've referred to this particular resource
using so many different terms (per my original email) is *precisely*
because the term 'Help' is so generic. People don't want to leave it
naked, and so try to add descriptive terms to it in order to inform
the user and guide him to the proper content.

The terms "dialog" and "context menu" are extremely unambiguous in the
context of LibreOffice. The term "help" is used all over the place --
we even have a jumping-off page called "get-help":
