Many of today’s applications do exactly that (including every single bundled
program in Windows, such as Notepad), and I don’t see anybody complaining. I
don’t think people are confused because they click “Help” in a certain program
and they get redirected to their browser. It’s common enough.

That said, I definitely like how GIMP handles this with its (brief!)
interstitial dialog, so +1.
