Personally I would rather visit any other websites in the package.xml than the distro index.

I personally would go for:

  • website
  • source
  • doc
  • fallback to index

The source or the docs gives me more insight in the package than the index.

Why not the index? It contains all the other links you're mentioning (or it should).

If the index contains all urls from the package.xml that could work as well

As well as the link to the source in the Repository summary, the Doc in the API Docs right side menu. As well as Browse Source with the package specific path into the repository.

It lists any provided urls in the "Additional Links" section

ex: https://index.ros.org/p/depthai/#kilted

The goal is to have one central clearing hub with all the info.
