If you put it in 5.reference folder you can get to it from the help
browser. If you put it in the extra folder (that is next to the
external file) you can open it by right-clicking an [fluid~] object
and choose 'help'. So puting it in both places would maybe give the
best enduser experience.
i would definitely NOT recommend putting the file in 2 places. this will lead to inconsistencies over time and you will never know what is going on. and nobody will be able to help you ;-(
btw, 'help''-clicking on [object] will open the help-patch in the reference-folder too, so this is not the reason why you should put it into ./extra
as for the help-browser not being able to browse extra/: this is imo a bug in the help-browser and should be fixed there. please send petitions to the upstream authors to fix it.
