Been playing around with using the HelpAction which surfaced a usability 
issue: the TaggingPreset-dialog currently is a modal dialog which means 
as long as you have it open you cannot focus the JOSM Online Help 
window. I'd rather not make it non-modal (as it could lead to unwanted 
tagging state) and don't want to close it when opening the help page 
either. Seems we have to stick with opening the external browser.
