I am no JS geek and have no clue, what I have to look for (CSS class, 
HTML Tag ..?). I tried several AI proposals without success so far. Can 
someone help?

As my PDF-Help-solution also works in an executable I still struggle to 
determine when it is appropriate to use an external file instead of an 
internal resource. An external file seems to be required in all cases 
where the path is passed directly to an external program/ library. How 
can we know whether it's such a case or not?
