(See the best response by Lummox JR.)
Code:
mob/var/Strength=0
mob/Topic(mob/M)
    usr<<browse(M.Lift,"window=Might;size=300x500")
mob/verb
    Show_YourMight()
     set category="Commands"
     var/ShowSTR="<br>"
     switch(input("Are you sure you want to show them your might?") in list ("Yes","No"))
        if("Yes")
            if(src.Strength>=0)
                ShowPerkz+="[src]'s lift is [src.Strength*4]<br>"
            for(var/mob/M in hearers(15))
                usr.Lift=ShowSTR
                M << output("[src] is showing their might <A HREF='#\ref[src]Topic'>Click Here</A>")


Problem description:
I want to beable to show lift in a window once the player hits the anchor. Only problem is even though it compiles when you hit the Click Me nothing happens. Yes I know you can just make it into an input, but it looks unattractive and can easily be spammed if I had more vars inside the ShowSTR var.

The anchor should begin with ? instead of #, because the server won't pay attention to a hash character or anything after it. Whatever follows the ? is known as the query string, and that's what's important.

So I would think your query string should probably be in the form of "?src=\ref[src]&view=stats" or some such. Then in client/Topic(), you'd do this:

client/Topic(href, hlist[], hsrc)
    if(hlist["view"] == "stats")
        if(ismob(hsrc))
            var/mob/M = hsrc
            M.ShowStatsTo(usr)
