Nope.
then there is [1], which is release announcement of Pd-extended but really lists a lot of features also found in Pd-vanilla.
and every now and then it is mentioned on the list :-)
Discoverability trick: if the word "error:" is a hyperlink, most users will know that they can interact with that error message. Since clicking a hyperlink is standard behavior in a modern UI, there wouldn't be a (pressing) need to document the behavior.
In addition, a blue, underlined hyperlink fits perfectly with Pd's 1990s motif aesthetic.
