Issue description

Doing some testing with @Riteo, we noticed that my PoC for in-editor API reference with descriptions for GDExtension was no longer working in latest master (#75415).

After further testing, I noticed that even without #75415, the editor used to be able to show the skeleton of a GDExtension class' API (without descriptions), but in latest master, this no longer works and it loads an empty page.

This appears to be a regression from #76431, reverting it (or at least the editor changes) fixes it.

Testing with my Threen extension, trying to load its docs by Ctrl+clicking the Threen symbol.

Current master:

And indeed, the verbose logs show:

With #76431 reverted:

With #76431 reverted and #75415 rebased (using the classref branch for Threen):

That last part is just to give a glimpse of what's coming, this is not the expected behavior for 4.1.

I'll make a PR, just wrote this issue to document it properly.

Steps to reproduce

• Download https://github.com/akien-mga/threen/releases/tag/1.0-beta3 or compile it from source, or any GDExtension that registers a class
• Load it in a project
• Try to search the class in the "Search Help" dialog, or ctrl+click the matching class name in the script editor
