Display simple HTML or RTF in Excel user Form

I have a feeling I cannot do what I want to do, but I am hoping an expert can give me guidance.

My current application menu system shows several options in Listbox1 on Userform1:

When the user right clicks an option, the listbox1_mouseup routine shows detailed instructions by opening a corresponding word document, from "c:\DetailedInstructions\ShowOrders.doc".

This is very slow, so I want to put a shorter version of the instructions directly under Listbox1 on the form.  

I added a 1 inch by 4 inch control to the form:  Userform1.WebBrowser1

then added this code to listbox1_mouseup:

 

 userform1.webbrowser1.navigate "c:\ShortInstructions\ShowOrders.HTM"

Select allOpen in new window

This works nicely except for one thing.   when the user clicks inside userform1.Webbrowser1, I want the hyperlinks to open "outside" of webBrowser1.

For instance let's say c:\ShortInstructions\ShowOrders.HTM contains two hyperlinks:

When user clicks Hyper1, Word should open
When user clicks Hyper2 msnbc should open using Chrome, Firefox or IE depending on the users default browser.

Am I out of luck?

By the way, I do not insist on an HTML solution.  I will accept RTF or Wiki Formatting or any other solution that can be implemented with less than an hour or two of coding.
