In no case is using a fetch request going to be the right answer for 
getting the managed object from a selected row in a table view.

At this point you have a controller/bindings problem - CoreData is no 
longer relevant.

It sounds like what you are building is a Master-Detail interface.

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/
CocoaBindings/Tasks/masterdetail.html>

If you haven't, build one of these with Cocoa controls that have 
bindings for the things you wish to do, so you can understand how it 
works.

Then you can tackle the problem of getting the HTML string into the 
WebView, which doesn't have a binding for that. (You'll have to react 
to selection changes in the table view, and get the the selected 
objects from the controller to which the table view is bound.)
