I know there was an ancient thread about using NPAPI ( Netscape plugin API ), to run LIPC commands from the browser, but that has been removed form more recent firmware.

Thanks for the clarification.
But now you know the browser is not the only thing that will display html on the Kindle.
The NPAPI was pulled because of the security threat that it posed to the system.
That was the one responsible for CERT notice on the Kindles.
(I posted a link to that fairly recently in response to some other question here.)
But knowing how to open a document in the browser would be nice to document (you might want to start a Wiki page on the subject).
IIRC, the last time anything on that was posted here was about 5.3.x or 5.4.x firmware version.
And maybe a comparison between the current firmware's browser implementation and our build of Skipstone (which is also getting fairly old by now).
There are users here that only use Skipstone (on K5, IIRC).
So there are users here that would be interested if Lab126 has closed the feature gap any over the last couple of years.
