Notes

The link appears in the top left of the fb:dashboard element and the top right of the fb:subtitle element.

You cannot use FBJS onclick, since you cannot have the href attribute set to # or JavaScript:. You can

use the onclick attribute: use any absolute URL in the href and make sure onclick returns false to prevent

the link from being followed.
