Do you see, consider even, the learning curve required
to arrive at the alternative you suggest?
The OP wants to remove some annoyances not create them.

Active links and scripting is required to be embedded by the builder
of a PDF file. Therefore there exists the lowest probability sewers,
together with a great many computer users. would be equipped to
succeed at building virus enabled PDF.
MHT can be put together from a few links, on the desktop.

(extract)
Definition of: DOS
(1) (Disk Operating System) Pronounced "dahss." An earlier single-user
operating system from Microsoft for the PC. It was the first operating
system for IBM and IBM-compatible PCs and remained the underlying
control program for Windows 3.1, 95, 98 and ME. In order to support
DOS applications, Windows NT, 2000, XP and Vista include their own
version of DOS, called "DOS emulation."
Although DOS in the IBM PC was called "PC-DOS," and the DOS used by
all other vendors was called "MS-DOS," all releases of PC-DOS and
MS-DOS were generally referred to as "DOS." Except for DOS 6, which
contained different versions of various utilities, PC-DOS and MS-DOS
commands and system functions were the same. A great number of DOS
commands have been executable in all versions of Windows. See DOS
abc's.

Somehow on this section of the information superhighway you have taken
a wrong turn. Be very clear I do not disagree with your general
direction in using command line tools.
The assistance holita has posted is appropriate for this group. Your
suggestion would create more of a problem for a user than it solves.
It is folly to darn hemp with silk thread.

I am not familiar with that forum. True to say, levels of computing
skill you wish to discuss are best discussed in forums where the
majority know the topic. Possibly it is fortunate for you I read your
post, for you to gain any feedback in this group.
You might benefit from reading the FAQ I saw posted, to be better
informed on the environment you are posting into.
