External Website inside TRS2010

Hi guys,
i am currently developing a website that should help a dispatcher doing his work in multiplayer sessions.

As it is quite dumb to switch between the Game and the Website constantly, I thought of integrating it to trainz.

First try (easiest way) was to open the website in trainz ingame help-browser. Since this is a web browser already it would have solved my problem instantly. For a pitty this webbrowser seems to be limited to aurans pages. I can't load any of the pages outside trainz community (like google, my own page, etc).

I am now looking for a way to integrate my page into trainz.
Is there any kind of ingame html-browser that is not limited to trainz-pages?
(Requirements: show html, follow hyperlinks)


Edit:
by the way, does anyone know if i am allowed to use the commodities images from trainz on my website?

Sorry to rain on your parade but the built in "web browser" in Trainz (all versions upto 2010 - but I do not know about the multiplayer version) uses an incredibly small subset of HTML and one that does not include the anchor <a> ... </a> tags so links to external web sites are not possible. Even linking to other pages within the same Trainz layout involves using a complex set of place holders and files that have to be identified in the config.txt file.:'(

Linking to external web pages would be a great addition to a Trainz layout (it could also be a curse) but, I'm afraid, is just not possible unless the change is made in a future version of the program.
