opening java help hs file using web start

One concern I have about java help is the ease in which an end user can view a java help file. For windows users, a html help file can be viewed very quickly by opening the .chm file. Is it possible for the java help file to be opened using web start, if the java help file is installed on a web server or on local media such as a cd rom?

Adding a help file is fairly easy if you're using JWS + Windows. Make sure you set up a start menu shortcut and then just add the help file as related-content in the information tag.

I haven't tried it on anything local, like a cd rom yet, however.
