Link to a page then execute a Javascript request

Does anyone know if it is possible to link to a page using href and then calling a javascript function?

Ex: href="http://www.mywebsite.com/Details.aspx?javascript:__doPostBack('INFO','')

How would I go about this?

Thanks for your help!

One way would be to pass a variable to the page with a value, such as somelink.com?navigation=method

Then, on that page, GET the variable navigation and write a simple if statement, such as:

if ( navigation === "someMethod" ){
    theMethodToCall();
}

No, you cannot run javascript in another page like that. But you can prevent the default behavior of the click, load the page in an iframe, then run js there (same origin policy may apply).
