You can also use an xml file as a map file. Use a marker in your headings that contains a string. Developer can pass a url call to the single xml file with the marker string to access the help topic. So long as you maintain the target location in the xml file, all should be well and good. I implemented this years ago for a product that was pretty much done with little time to recode formal help calls.
