Well maybe you should of posted that link in the op!

The code Apple is using is not an HTML link. It is a embeded object, a link to the movie, and a target of QuickTimePlayer. Here is an example from the source of the apple page, the code in red are the ones I was talking about.

Code:

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0" height="27" width="67">
  <param name="src" value="http://movies.apple.com/trailers/images/hd_btn2_480p.mov">
  <param name="bgcolor" value="FFFFFF">
  <param name="controller" value="false">
  <param name="href" value="http://images.apple.com/movies/touchstone/apocalypto/apocalypto-tlr1_480p.mov">
  <param name="target" value="QuickTimePlayer">

  <embed src="http://movies.apple.com/trailers/images/hd_btn2_480p.mov" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" bgcolor="FFFFFF" controller="false" href="http://images.apple.com/movies/touchstone/apocalypto/apocalypto-tlr1_480p.mov" target="QuickTimePlayer" height="27" width="67"> 
</object>
