Google Chrome Packaged App Pop-up?

I have a packaged app in Google Chrome to allow for serial communications. I need to make a pop-up help page to explain how to use it etc. I have tried several different ways that I can think of and have not found any information on here or Google itself on how to do this. Anyone have any ideas?

One way is to open a window with chrome.app.window.create and populate it with the help-file HTML. However, this won't allow navigation within that same window with an <a> tag. (It will navigate to an external browser window.) To get full-blown navigation, you can place a <webview> in the window, and put the help file there. The tag looks like this:

<webview id="webview" src="http://example.com/help" style="width:600px; height:500px"></webview>
