Yes, simply use DocView and make sure you specified a help directory
where INF help files are located, or concatenate the RTL, FCL and LCL
inf help files as a command line parameter. DocView searches are
instant, so don't worry about speed by concatenating help files.

For DocView integration in Lazarus IDE (no need for a IDE recompile)
follow this link.
