KDE Konqueror does the same. Just enter "man:less" (or "man:/less")
into the address field. It also handles GNU info pages ("info:/info")
very well -- finally I was able to read them, because there are
hyperlinks "Which Just Work (tm)". KDE help pages and manuals are
shown with "help:/kdeprint" for example.
Cheers,
