No. Just think how dangerous it would be if you could?

<a href="format.exe">click here</a>.

Ah, I see. I must admit I know very little about e-books. Isn't it something
that can be replaced by a couple of HTML-pages or a PDF-file?

So the ebook has a built in viewer. What's the advantage above distributing
the plain HTML pages? (Everybody has some sort of browser to view them)
