Can't image a good usecase for this, but feel free to enlighten me...

You could place a link (preferably with meaningful text for users
non-graphic browsers, i.e. where the user does not "click" or there is
not "entire page") on the page.

<a id="biglink" href="..">Let strange things happen</a>

Then apply the following CSS

#biglink {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-indent: -2000px; /* to move the text out of the visible area */
}

you'll also need

html, body {
height: 100%; /* or the height property above will not work */
margin: 0; /* to avoid scrollbars */
padding: 0;
}

HTH
