there are two approaches to involve it.
1.
window.open(url);
window.opener.close();

2.
window.location.replace(url);


example:
<a href="#" on*click="window.location.replace('http://www.stefli.com/');">stefli</a>

Option 1 is really bad and browser security should prevent it
Option 2 will fail with users with JS disabled.

A better option for #2

<a href="http://www.example.com" onclick="window.location.replace(this.href);return false;">example</a>
