Where does one find the manpage of a flatpak application?

For example, I know that Thunderbird usually has a manpage. However, I have tried the following two commands to no avail.

[user ~]$ man thunderbird
No manual entry for thunderbird

[user ~]$ flatpak run --command="bash" org.mozilla.Thunderbird
[ org.mozilla.Thunderbird ~]$ man thunderbird
bash: man: command not found

Note: There is a similar question on askUbuntu, however, it is related to a specific software, and the answer pertains to that software only.

Flatpaks were primarily developed for graphical user applications. As such, there does not appear to be standard provisions to integrate with the man system, so a flatpak typically will not install a local man page.
