Adding a url link object to a map

Yup. You'd use the query template (the TEMPLATE setting for a layer) to 
display the URL in the apprpriate context.

For example:
<http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=[url]"/>

Or, if the URL is derived from some field/attribute:
<http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://server/place/[title].pdf"/>

Is that a good start?
Of course, this assumes that you have a query template and that you have 
click-to-query stuff basically working. But from there it's easy.
