Eclipse Tricks and Tips plugin Extension Point

I need to add an entry to a menu section in the Tips and Tricks help dialog in eclipse. For that I am searching which Extension Point from Eclipse to use. I am using eclipse 2019-06 and if I consult the documentation, I see no extension point for this help entry:

Eclipse 2019 Plugin documentation is here.

This isn't done using that extension point.

The about.ini file in the 'feature plug-in' for an installed feature can contain a tipsAndTricksHref property which gives the help topic href to use. For example the JDT about.ini contains:

tipsAndTricksHref=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/tips/jdt_tips.html

So you must create a feature. You then create a 'feature plugin' - which is a plugin with the same id as the feature. The about.ini goes in the plugin. The feature.xml must list the 'feature plugin' and your other plugins. You must use a feature based build for the RCP build.
