No, you can have all these in HTML Help. You just need
to define the windows and make the links call them.

I think your questions would be best fielded on the
help authoring list, HATT.
http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/hatt

Though I don't doubt you'll get feedback here, the
help authoring list will give you access to a lot more
people doing what it is you are trying to do.
