You really do have to use JavaScript for this type of functionality, as HTML
hyperlinks were never meant to link to more than one resource than once.  An
alternative is to create boxes containing two links each - one for the clip
and one for the page, but JavaScript is definitely the easiest and most
intuitive way to go.

Just make sure that you have an alternate link for those of us who either
don't use JavaScript or can't use JavaScript.
