Can't do it... That kind of security is handled by the Client's browser. If they removed that then people with malicious intent would simply embed viruses, trojans and other bombs right into their webpages.
If they could do that, they would create a webpage with a "Dancing <<Insert Small Fuzzy Animal Here>>" and millions would be infected in hours.

Exactly... your best option would be to just link to the file on the page. Just use the same HTML code as a regular link.
