I have a simple href link from some html
<a href="www.google.com">Apparently you can find things here</a>
But I want to add a http request header to the request?
Is this possible.

@Ejay custom headers. Trying to send some information over HTTP. Debating whether it makes more sense to add this to URL or as a header. – More Than Five Apr 05 '13 at 13:59

There is no way for a page to specify HTTP request headers other than for requests made using XMLHttpRequest and fetch.

Can you elaborate on what you are trying to do?
I don't believe it's possible to specify a request header via a link. You can send GET parameters to the target site with the following notation:
www.google.com?q=searchterm
The first GET parameter is separated from the URL by a question mark (?) after that each additional parameter should be separated with an ampersand (&) like so:
www.google.com?q=searchterm&otherparam=value&otherotherparam=value
