The current HTML Help stylesheet is not capable
of generating an olink data file itself. That
is because it has its own template for the root element,
which is what triggers the collection process in the
html stylesheets.  If people are going to use olinks
with htmlhelp.xsl, then that code needs to be added.

But htmlhelp.xsl is based on the chunk.xsl stylesheet.
So you should use chunk.xsl to generate
the target data file.  Just set the stylesheet parameter
collect.xref.targets="only", then it will generate 
hrefs in the style you need for use with htmlhelp.xsl.

I have not tried olinks with htmlhelp.  Let me know
if it works or not.
