DocC is a documentation compiler. Being a compiler, it would make sense that when moving from the Markdown representation to a HTML representation there would be some intermediate output -- an AST, etc.
I am wondering if and how one could get access to the AST, for example, representation of the documentation...?

And indeed there is. In fact, IIRC there are two, one in memory representation (a symbol graph) and one on-disk (JSON perhaps).
Note My focus is on using DocC, so I only pay passing attention to this stuff.

I think you should pop on over to the [Swift-DocC area] on Swift Forums and:
Search the existing posts to see what you can learn from those
If that doesn’t get you what you need, start a thread over there
Share and Enjoy
