Yes it is possible. I have made it possible for folks to access my "Python for Poser by PhilC" pdf file from that help menu.
In WeblinksPhilC I have a text file with a PZS file extension. The text file has the path to the PDF file:-
file:C:--full-path-to-the-pdf-filefilename.pdf
Hope that helps.

Oops. I never install weblinks, not realising that there might one day be something useful in there... :/ So any file path that's put in there will be treated as if it were typed into the Windows Run... dialog? Interesting. Files that away for future use

Oh and make it read only. This will save some bright spark including bogus weblinks in with their freestuff and redirecting traffic to a "less appropriate" site.
