Great question and unfortunately the answer is currently no, but this answer will be changing in the near future. I've already been working on it and there are a couple of things to still work out. In addition to just being available on the web, there are also some enhancements coming in the content too that will be in both the chm and the web version.

This is not what I am looking for, I want to link to pages on this site. To aid people, in finding their way into the API. It should be a clickable link that they can view in their browser and not something they should paste into the programming help (or internet explorer) copy past into the browser doesn't work for chrome and firefox.

 

But thanks for the input. I use this method for our company tool(s) documentation to jump from word to the desired page.
