Follow-up Comment #75, bug #53006 (project octave):

I attached a patch for the current stable tip which adds the possibility to
register a compressed help file from the interpreter (useful if octave-forge
packages provide qch files) and it also fixes the issue of finding
octave_interpreter.qhc in the install dir. 

With this in place, you can do


__octave_link_register_doc__ ("/path/to/compressedhelp.qch");
__octave_link_unregister_doc__ ("/path/to/compressedhelp.qch");


The problem is that if a compressed help is not unregistered when quitting
Octave then the base collection is left modified and will contain non default
data. To solve this we should not initialize the QHelpEngine with an existing
collection but use an empty one and register octave_interpreter.qch by
default. If you agree with this, I can provide a patch (this will eliminate
the need for octave_interpreter.qhc and only qhelpgenerator will be used).
