[news.eclipse.platform.ua] Re: Link to a file outside the plugins folder

A content producer would be the best way to do this. Anything you can 
write in Java can be done in a content producer. As you have probably 
already figured out the paths in the URLs used by the help system are 
always interpreted as referring to a plug-in and do not represent 
physical locations on the file system.
