I'm not sure that you understand the capabilites of the CHM help file format. 
My CHM package provides exactly what you are asking as far as I can tell.  If you
could provide me with more details as to what it lacks, then I will fill in the
gaps...  I have yet to have somebody ask me about interfacing with my help file.
