You can usually only click programmatically if the element has an onclick handler.
The only thing I can think of is to test if there's an onclick attribute defined and if not then use one of the navigate methods to follow the href, you'd have to pay attention to any target attributes too. It depends on whether this is a specific link or you want a general solution, if the former it's not too bad, if the latter then it is difficult.
