Why do you not want to use Hyperlink?
<Button>
<Hyperlink>
</Button>

Coz, Whenever I try to get parent in Visual tree it throws an Exception saying Hyperlink is not visual or Visual3d

I want to use this. I got it working but I can't seem to get rid of the shadow on the edges of the button. How do you do that?

A:
If you don't want any of the normal Button style and just want something that looks like a hyperlink you could start with this
<Button Margin="5" Content="Test" Cursor="Hand">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<TextBlock TextDecorations="Underline">
<ContentPresenter />
</TextBlock>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>

You can also do this:
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink>This is my link..</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>

Unfortunately, this doesn't behave as one might expect. If you're an XBAP (in-browser app), then it behaves analogously to the winform's version. If your host is a NavigationWindow or if the control is within a Frame, the hyperlink will only navigate to xaml pages within the application. If none of these are true it won't work.

Here's MichaC's suggestion implemented as a Style that you can reuse on any button:
<Style x:Key="LinkButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<TextBlock TextDecorations="Underline">
<ContentPresenter />
</TextBlock>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Made this a community wiki, considering 99% of this answer is stolen from MichaC :)

A:
<Style x:Key="LinkButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
<Setter Property="TextDecorations" Value="Underline" />
</Style>
</ControlTemplate.Resources>
<ContentPresenter />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
MichaC's and Anderson's version placed the underline slightly wrong, here is an updated version that will just add an underline to any TextBlock that are inside the content presenter.
