If you just link to it, and send it down via the link with the right MIME type, it should just open in the browser

Go with Custom Hyperlinks Using Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols. that will be easy.

Try use LinkButton, instead of HyperLink. LinkButton behaves like a Button control; but looks like a hyperlink.
