At a previous $EMPLOYER I pointed the HOSTDOCURL to a MediaWiki.

We source our "notes" in our organization's wiki, but I have a scheduled job which extracts the content to static HTML pages on the Xymon server. This gives me the, authentication, content-creation, versioning, and auditing tools of the wiki, without imposing a full-time external dependency on my monitoring application.
I use an HREF tag in the DESCR field to link to the "notes". I can use common "notes" pages for all the systems in a display-group by embedding the link in a .default. line of the hosts.cfg.
