Question

Answer 1

you don't need jQuery, you can do this regular javascript.

in your iFrame:

<a href="#" onclick='window.parent.location="www.newurl.com"' />

Answer 2

you could have the links on pictures.html have onclick events that send the location to the parent window.

 $(".link").click(function() {
    window.parent.location = $(this).attr('href');
    return false;
 });

Answer 3

you can have the link open in a new window or tab....

The HTML to open a new window:
      <a href=”http://sitename.com”  target="_blank">Link text here</a>

Answer 4

You can use target="_top" to change the top page's location:

<a href="page.html" target="_top">change main page location</a>

or _parent to change parent page's location

<a href="page.html" target="_parent">change parent page location</a>
