    To explain @kglr's comment, these FrontEndToken objects actually reference a special set of token functions the FE provides. You can see them in FrontEndExecute@ FrontEnd`FindFileOnPath["KeyEventTranslations.tr", "PrivatePathsTextResources"] and FrontEndExecute@ FrontEnd`FindFileOnPath["MenuSetup.tr", "PrivatePathsTextResources"]. They do not always have the name provided in the menu.

Working from kglr's and b3m2a1's comments, I will record a CW answer.



The menu tokens are stored in the file MenuSetup.tr buried deep within the Mathematica installation. To look at it you can execute the following:



FilePrint[
 FrontEndExecute @
 FrontEnd`FindFileOnPath["MenuSetup.tr", "PrivatePathsTextResources"]]


The result will be the desired file printed in the current Notebook. You can then search in it for "Help". which will give you



menu_token



and thus revealing the token you are looking for.



Once again, as in fantasy fiction, knowing something's true name gives power over it.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
