I got it.
Perhaps it would be useful to have another startup option, something like:
options(htmlLinksResolve=TRUE)

that one could use in the .First() function from .Rprofile

I tried using help.start() in .Rprofile, but it throws a (probably obvious) 
error:
Error: could not find function "help.start"


For my personal purposes, all questions have been answered though.
Thank you very much,
Adrian
