Possible to simulate a keyboard shortcut being pressed by clicking on link using JavaScript?

Hi,

I'm creating a touch application in the "Itunes LP" format which uses html, css and javascript within Itunes to create a "digital LP". The application will have several LP's to explore through a touchscreen. In fullscreen mode (within Itunes and the LP) you can press the "esc key" to exit the LP and enter "coverflow view" where you can choose another LP to explore. I will have no keyboard or mouse so I need to create a button/link that do one thing when the user clicks on this link and that is to simualte the ESC key being pressed.

So my question is; Is it possible to simulate a keyboard shortcut being pressed using JavaScript in a link? My link would be "Home" and by clicking on this link the browser behaves as the ESC key was pressed.

Any tips on this would be most helpful. Thanks!
