Not a straight solution, but you can achieve it by setting like this
<a href="javascript:void[]"
onClick="javascript:GoToUrl('http://wwww.microsoft.com')">Hello</a>

<script>
function GoToUrl(url)
{
window.location.href = url;
}
</script>

Check if this works for you

The URL will only be invisible for a few seconds, as the users web browser
is ultimately going to display something like "Connecting to
www.microsoft.com...". The only way you could possibly get around this is
by using Frames - i.e. load the target URL into a big empty frameset, so you
can control the status bar.

Personally, I think it's more trouble than it's worth.
