This is rarely a problem, but it will require a constant internet connection.
You won't be able to play the game properly in offline mode on your laptop if you want to (because you're on the road or because you live in a place with communication issues).
I think it's much easier to simply add this page from COMP/CON to some directory in the menu, as the OP suggested. If the game isn't multiplayer, it shouldn't constantly depend on an internet connection. Status effects can be learned quickly, but still.
