It would still be nice if we had "source" links to instance definitions, and as a side effect they would also address this issue (you could then simply click on the "source" link to see where that instance is defined).
+1 for "source" links on instances! I see there is already a ticket for this: http://trac.haskell.org/haddock/ticket/145 but it is 2 years old. I guess it just needs someone to actually code it up. How hard could it be? ...so I took myself up on my challenge and spent a half-hour source diving in Haddock to try to figure out what would need to change in order to support this feature. I sketched out some notes which I attached to the above ticket. Anyone else should feel free to expand on my notes or actually tackle implementing the feature! -Brent
