Ah !  in fact I was right then .. ;-) you get the whole help file, you're juste
pointed to the right section. Quite different than tooltip then, and I think 
helpviewer could be interessting for doing that.
What we'd like is the same as "application:openFile:"
but with parameters to give to the application (so in thoses parameters we could
provide the right "id") ... hmm..

or we could just :
1) loading the correct help file 2) send a DO message to select the right 
section ... .

What do you think ?
