XHTML+SMIL hyperlinking+"eventing"

Does anyone know the answer to this.  In an XHTML+SMIL presentation I want
to both link to a web page in a new window as well as pause the existing
presentation. I'm currently trying something like

 

<a class="time" alt="" timeAction="visibility" begin="clip1.begin"
end="clip1.end" 

style="border:1;background-color:transparent;position:absolute;left:325px;to
p:148px;width:51px;height:67

px;z-index:100" id="slide_1_3" href="http://some.url.com" target="outside">

 

Basically I want a <par> somewhere else to be triggered by a
"slide_1_3.click".  However, it seems that the fact of the hyperlinking
makes the slide_1_3.click event not work or not get triggered.  I know in
SMIL2.0 there is the sourcePlaystate value which can stop the existing
presentation playing, but I'm not sure if this is implemented in XHTML+SMIL.
Does anyone have any ideas?
