It should be possible to do this in a mapscript script (php, perl, ...)
by detecting the click in the script, and having the script send
an http "Location:" header back to the browser to cause it to go to
whatever URL you want the clicked-on object to correspond to.

I'm not sure about with the cgi version of mapserver; I'm not as
familiar with it as I am with mapscript.
