it's not possible with the current design, so that would be far off.
If feasible I would like to be able to link to any text, html or pdf
file in the package. For example, it would be nice to be able to link
to the NEWS file and pdf files that are included in the package even
if they are not vignettes, etc.
The \Sexpr mechanism probably allows this, though there are currently no
built-in support functions to help you get there. As I mentioned, that
could all be done by code in a contributed package.
One way would be to have one help page which contains only
\Sexpr[stage=render, results=rd]{generatePage()}
and it will be 100% generated at render time, containing whatever you
want it to contain. (Presumably you'll have some way to communicate what
you want through variables that generatePage() can see.) Each time you
link to it you'll see something different.

Brilliant. Thanks. That solves my question as well.
I did not see results = documented in ?Rd2HTML, what is allowed ?
Is \Sexpr ignored when rendering other formats (tex, ...) ?
or is there a way (similar to #ifdef) to only provide some content to
some renderers ?
