 It is a good idea. This how it was implemented 3 years ago:
 
   ROOT/2.25.03/root/win32/src > grep -i explorer *.cxx
TWin32Canvas.cxx:   gSystem->Exec("explorer http://root.cern.ch/root/html/ClassIndex.html");

That time this was rejected and the feature was not developed since that.
The methods:

TObject::DeclFileName()
TObject::ImplFileName()
 and Co

do provide all information one needs to get access to ROOT html 
documentation via interface present above.

One can add a few extra keys to "system.rootrc" to customize "Web browser"
interface.
