Viewing both index and help topics in D7's Adminstrative Overlay

Issue Summary

Currently in D7, with the default settings, the advanced help index ( at 'admin/advanced_help') is viewed in the administrative overlay, but when the user selects a topic it is viewed in the default theme (for example 'help/advanced_help/using-advanced-help'). For a more consistent UI what is the best way to route all topic views to the overview?

Sometimes just verbalizing the question makes you think differently. So to answer my own question:

In the "mycustom_help.module" file:

<?php
/*
* set all help topics to the admin path for viewing in administrative overlay
*/
function coa_help_admin_paths() {
 
$paths = array(
   
'help/*' => TRUE,
  );
  return
$paths;
}
?>
