Edge Animate CC :: Click (or Similar) Action From HTML Hyperlink?

I have a text object in my Animate comp. It's pulling in HTML using JQuery's .html command. What I'd like to do is from that HTML, I'd like add an a href or similar link where onClick something happens to another Animate symbol. In this case, I'll make it simple and just show a div, but it could be anything. Of course, Animate has actions for symbols in the Elements panel, but this needs to happen from the HTML itself. Like this:
  
sym.$('content').html('<p>If you click this link, the <a href="sym.$("gallery").show();">Photo Gallery</a> will appear.</p>');
 
OK, this is a simplified version and I realize the syntax in the a href is completely wrong. But you get the idea. I click in that text and a div now appears on the screen. Also would be great to do it from an image link as well.
 
So is there a way to do this in Edge Animate? It's important I need to find a way to make this work.
