You can call your tag and have it return a variable to the calling page.  To
do that, use the CALLER scope.

For example, as the last line in your tag use:

     <cfset CALLER.LinkFile = EVALUATE("#ATTRIBUTES.query#.LinkFile")>

Then in the calling page call the tag before the anchor tag and rewrite the
anchor tag to look like:

<a href="<cfoutput>#LinkFile#</cfoutput>">Link</a>
