I think this is more of an R-devel topic, but the answer is "yes, 
several ways, none very simple".

The way I'd do it is to split up the parse_Rd() step from the Rd2HTML() 
step, and add the extra bit to the parsed version.

Another way to do it would be to edit the input file before conversion, 
or the output file after conversion.  The latter is probably easier 
because the output is a little more predictable.
