Is there an existing module out there that can allow an HTML page to be displayed as a product in a category?

For example, I have a category of "widgets", with a dozen different designs available. I would like to have a "Guide to Choosing Your Widget" displayed as a selectable item on the product page, retaining the menu and breadcrumb structure of the category page. I have considered using the category description for that, but in some cases, it might be so large that it could push the products right off the bottom of the screen.

I could foresee this being a modification to a standard product template, modified to basically only show the image and the description with no columns, but then you'd need a way to select the appropriate template to use when creating a new product.

You could try to use something like this:

Custom Page OC v.1.5.x - 2.0.3.1:
Authors Comment:
Just copy past file and link is xyz.com/index.php?route=custom/helloworld
if xyz.com is your shop domain
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=20816

Other similar Extensions:
Custom Page Opencart, Tailor Measurement Form OC v.2.0.0.0 - 2.0.3.1:

Just an Idea, Good Luck !

PS. I am just not sure, if OC.2 will possibly filter anything, like Links, or external images... but you'll find out!
Just don't try it by Use of an OC built-in Text-Editor, but insert your CONTENT manually into the .TPL File!

Thanks, Ernie, but I'm no coder, so would have no idea how to translate those examples to my "product" idea.

then, some around here are always ready, to get a nice little 20-buck job like this, I assume...
Good Luck !

Here's a couple of mock-ups to show what I'm looking for:

Category page with the first product listed being the info page:



And when you click on that, it takes you to the "product" page that looks like this:
