I have mentioned before that I do not find HyperDoc particularly useful. Every time I sit down to use it I get a bad case of "browser shock". Also it seems to me to be too unstable (i.e. crashes too often) to let me gain much confidence in it's user interface. So I do badly want to see HyperDoc's features re-packaged with a standard web browser interface. The idea of being able to navigate through the Axiom database (daase files) easily is a very good one. In principle this could be implemented quite easily on MathAction by loading the contents of the daase files into a Zope data structure and then writing some methods to query and browse this online. Or this could be through another auxiliary server interface in the manner of AxiomUI. In this case writing a Lisp-based web application is certainly possible. In either case, what we need is for some new developer to come along who wants to tackle this - maybe this is a good candidate for a bounty award?
