I have used splashtop for it (have used it often like your brother at work), the problem being the single-user nature of it. It if could actually interact with the data directly, then multiple users could interact with the same instance, allowing all the characters to be in a single profile. This would allow full use of the tactical console.
The other option here is if there was a auto-save, auto-load feature. If, whenever a portfolio was altered, it created a live save file. this, combined with an added ability to open up multiple profiles at a time, and you'd be able to have the GM have all player portfolios open plus the NPC portfolio. The Players, in there own instance of HL, could have just their own character's portfolio open (including their player, plus any cohorts/familiars/etc that they control). If whenever a change is made on one instance, the live save is updated, then the other instances would see the file status update, and reopen. This would provide a 'shared' experience, and not add a lot to the actual product, code wise. This biggest thing would be some way to open more than one portfolio at a time. Simply monitoring a file for changes is very simple, even in 'old code'.
