The links themselves don't do that, that depends entirely on the user's
browser configuration.

Note that if you have something which uses Javascript without a
non-Javascript alternative, users without Javascript (note that
Javascript is not always enabled even if the capability is there) will
not be able to access the Quicktime movie *at all*; there's a reason I
use the phrase "(site held together with) duck tape, Javascipt, and
Flash".
