Yes, you could try something like this:

<A HREF="JavaScript:OpenPage(comp_ref)">Search Now</a>

Then create a function called OpenPage (or any other name) like this:

function OpenPage(sPageToShow)
{
         location.href = sPageToShow;
}

Optionally, you could use location.replace (no entry in the history list) 
or name a target frame as well (parent.frameName.location.href =......)
