 Scenario: I have a plugin that adds a shortcode. I have so settings for it
 as everything can be fully controlled by using attribute, so I don't have
 an obvious admin space for it that can be utilized for documentation/help.
 I still want to show some documentation by adding a "documentation" link
 to the plugin links in the plugins page and I want it to be displayed in
 the context of the admin and not just as an HTML page (partially because I
 want to be able to localise it and therefor I will need to use php on it).

 Right now it seems like the only proper way to add such a page is by
 adding a submenu to non existing page, or doing some CSS/JS hacks to hide
 the unwanted menu.

 There shuld be some officially supported way to add a admin page slug
 directly.
