Can you clarify "crash the app", and what is your ClickHandler doing?
1. if you want a "Hyperlink with ClickHandler", use an Anchor, set its
Href to #token (token being your history token), and in the
ClickHandler make sure you preventDefault() on the event and call
History.newItem() (this is what Hyperlink actually does)
2. if you want a link to another web page, well, I don't see a reason
it would "crash"...
3. if you just want some kind of "button looking like link", then do
not (ab)use an Anchor, use a Label or PushButton instead and style it
as you want it to look like.
