Open a local HTML file in device's browser

How would one open a local HTML file in Mobile Safari or the Android browser?

The file "help.html" is in Resources/ along with app.js.

I would have thought something like:

var url = Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory + Ti.Filesystem.separator + "help.html";
Ti.API.info("Opening help: " + url);
Ti.Platform.openURL(url);

would be what I'm looking for, but it doesn't do anything (other than print the url).

All apps in iOS work in a sandbox and have no access to the ressources of an other app. Because this, Mobile Safari can’t open your local app files.
