At least you can use cygwin do find out the default browser to launch
$ cat /proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes/http/shell/open/command/@
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -requestPending -osint -url "%1"
$
You can use this info to create a script that would launch the browser
with the argument
file:///C:/somepath/doc/ref/chap31.htm#X84F59A2687C62763
(note that you might need to rename the files from .html to .htm)
It should be doable, as at Windows command prompt the following works:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
file://C:/tmp/chap39.htm#X79C44528864044C5
HTH,
Dima
