You basically create a generic view for all interfaces. The view then looks at 
its context and does the right thing. For example:

class APIDocIntrospector(object):

  def __init__(self, context, request):
    self.context = context
    self.request = request

  def __call__(self):
    klass = self.context.__class__
    # SciFi, but you know what I mean
    path = getApiDocPath(klass)
    self.request.response.redirect(
      '/++apidoc++/classmodule/%s/index.html' %path)
