It's currently not intended to work for packages installed in user scope --- only for packages in the main installation --- although probably it shouldn't report a path error for a user-scope package.
I'm not sure how difficult it would be to make redirection work on a user-scope package's documentation. The function doesn't "just work" for user-scope, because the location where documentation is rendered is different for user-scope packages and installation-scope packages. It might end up being about the same implementation effort to improve the error message or to make the function work on user-scope packages, though.
