[jQuery] code minimization / abstraction

[Joe]

I'd love some js/jQuery expert help in code minimization /
abstraction.

html:

<a href="/account/locations/new?_context=proposal" id="testhref">Test
Link</a>

js:

jQuery(function() {
  jQuery('#testhref').click(function() {
    jQuery.ajax({
      url: this.href,
      dataType: "script",
      beforeSend: function(xhr) {xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text/
javascript");}
    });
    return false;
  });
});

I'm trying to minimize the code down to this, since that behavior is
something that will be desired in many places.  So the js id like to
see is something like this:

jQuery('#testhref').RemoteLink(options); //where options could be
anything additional to pass into the jQuery.ajax call

I would plan on handling the document ready state inside there in
order to minimize the code needed in setting that up.  Is any of this
possible?  I've tried hard to make it work but my js skills are not
allowing me to do so.
