Location of context-sensitive Responsive HTML5 Help header file

I am using a trial version of FrameMaker 2017. It appears that WebHelp, which I was using for context-sensitive help in FrameMaker 2015 did not make the cut. I want to create the same context-sensitive Help project using FrameMaker 2017's Responsive HTML5 Help publisher but can't find the Header file (.h). I want to use the same mapping as I did in the 2015 version.

Thanks for your help!

Just to get this straight: If I place a TopicAlias marker in my Framemaker 2017 file which I then want to link to my application, I have to manually create a line in this manually created help map file for each marker?

Plus: Where do I even place this file? Which is the "Framemaker source" folder mentioned in the Framemaker help (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/2017/using/framemaker_help.pdf#page=247 )?

Background story: I want to generate an HTML help with unstructured Framemaker.

Thanks for your help - it's concerning how little information about this I could find.

@verenag14723070 - the FM source they refer to is your .fm content file.

Does one get created in that weird spot where the generation takes place? Like \users\FMOutput\ or something?

I searched my entire C drive but found header files for HTML Help only. Perhaps Responsive HTML Help uses a different system for context-sensitive Help?

Maybe FM-published HTML5 help is missing that bit - I know that RH-generated Responsive HTML5 still can be called that way according to Willam van Weeldon's site - https://www.wvanweelden.eu/articles/context-sensitivity-responsive-and-multiscreen-html5
