The action you want shouldn't really take effect on the client side (hyperlink) itself, because this would no doubt rely on JavaScript and would be pathetically insecure.
Instead, what you need to think about is protecting certain pages with a username password, and *possibly* maintaining this user/data in sessions, so they only have to do it once. There is a pretty good tutorial on this exact topic on Site Point: http://www.WebmasterBase.com/article/319 I used this tutorial and code base as the basis of my own session management and user login stuff. It does use MySQL to maintain the users in a table, but the principal of how he works with headers and exits could be applied to a flat file of user/password records. Note: it does use cookies, which you may or may not consider an issue.
