Context sensitive webhelp for Docbook

[opeongo]

I recently became aware of context sensitive webhelp for the DITA framework. This is a feature that I need to make links from within my app to the online documentation.

However I am using the DocBook framework where this feature is not available. It is not a viable solution for me to switch my documentation framework to DITA.

Could you please also make this feature available for DocBook framework authors.

Thanks,

Tom

Actually to refine my request a bit, what I really want is the just the mapping between xml:id values and the path to the page (possibly with an anchor if the id is not the start of the page). It seemed like the format that was described for the DITA context sensitive help mapping file (context-help-map.xml) would be perfect for my needs: just a mapping between the id value and the page path in a machine readable format.
