From Silverlight you can catch/handle the MouseLeftButtonUp event and do

HtmlPage.Window.Navigate("http://www.example.com");

HTML.Navigate won't open a new page in several browsers. This makes it kind of worthless.

However, HyperlinkButtons magically make it work. I don't know how, so I just create a one of those, give it the URI that I want to open, and click it (all from code). if I set the TargetName of the HyperlinkButton to "_Blank" then it will open in a new page.

Calling a buttons click event from code isn't the easiest either, but I found some code somewhere that did it. Here's the code that you will need to open a new page:

    HyperlinkButton button = new HyperlinkButton();            
    button.NavigateUri = new URI("The URI To Go To");
    button.TargetName = "_Blank";

    HyperlinkButtonAutomationPeer hyperlinkPeer = new HyperlinkButtonAutomationPeer(button);
    IInvokeProvider invokeProvider = hyperlinkPeer.GetPattern(PatternInterface.Invoke) as IInvokeProvider;
    invokeProvider.Invoke();
