Your post touched on a few different issues.
This may not be exactly what you asked for but in Eclipse 3.5 there is a help preference which allows you to specify that any link in the help view opens in an external browser. You can see this on the help preference page.
I've seen the code that makes https links open in an extenal browser but I'm not sure why it is there, this code was there since before I was working on the help sysetm. My first thought was that it was because the embedded browser cannot handle https on at least one platform. My second thought was that there is a security related reason for it to be that way.
Opening a target which is itself a topic from another infocenter can cause problems, I think there is a bug open on this but I'm not sure of the bug number.
