I have a very similar link on one of my pages. If you can call .click() on any HtmlElement, it should be able to run associated Javascript. Here is my code (generated from HtmlUnitScripter):

HtmlElement element4 = null;
Iterable iterable5 = page.getAllHtmlChildElements();
Iterator i6 = iterable5.iterator();
while(i6.hasNext())
{
    HtmlElement anElement = i6.next();
    if(anElement instanceof HtmlImage)
    {
        HtmlImage input = (HtmlImage) anElement;
        String[] elements = "http://example.com/pages/powerbutton.png".split( "/" );

        if(input.getSrcAttribute().indexOf(elements[elements.length-1] )> -1 )
        {
            element4 = input;
            break;
        }
    }
}

HtmlPage page = element4.click();
