Answer 1

the plot isn't plain HTML. So there is no a tag. And the plot itself do not provide you with an api to catch the click event on an axis tick.

What you can do is to select the axis tick manually with jQuery and add a click event:

$('.highcharts-axis tspan').each(function(){
    var label = $(this),
        value = label.text();
    if(categoryLinks[value]) {
        label.click(function(){
            // you' free to what you want...
            alert('could link to another page: ' + categoryLinks[value]);
        });
    }
});
