There are many available (and pluggable) help browsers, and the default one
is actually based on the browser widget. However, due to some changes caused
by moving to osgi in M6, the code was broken and disabled. It should be
fixed by M8 or M9.
Even when using the swt browser, the help viewer is still launched as a
separate process to account for modality issues:
Take this example: helped is embedded as a view and visible. Then, a wizard
is launched. F1 is pressed for some page. The infopop is displayed. A
related linked is clicked on, to see it in the help viewer. The help viewer
is updated, but cannot be worked with because the wizard is modal.
You can see that not only help is displayed in another window, but also in
another process. Any suggestion (that works!) to improve this is welcomed.
Please post it on platform-help-dev mailing list.

Hello!
I was also thinking it should be somewhere around. Even it is not i am
not that good :( to dare to write such plugins yet. So should we wait
for 2-3 more months or better till stable release is out?
