As I decribed in my previous email, I managed to get a working solution by
placing this code in my vimrc:

    function! OpenHelpInCurrentWindow(topic)
      view $VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt
      setl filetype=help
      setl buftype=help
      setl nomodifiable
      exe 'keepjumps help ' . a:topic
    endfunction

    command! -nargs=? -complete=help Help call OpenHelpInCurrentWindow(<q-args>)

    nnoremap <silent> <leader>h :Help 

Then with <leader>h or :Help you can open a help topic in the current window
