Generally what people do is put the Help page on the opening sheet in the application, but what you want to do is not possible as far as I know, you would have to write an extension object to handle that, am not aware of one that exists already.  The one thing that may work though would be a couple of button objects, one that does a call to open the ppt file using the Launch option of the Actions:

That should also work for the other button to launch whatever to play the video too, or if you really just need the video, then one button should do the trick etc.  Best I can offer.
