h:outputLink jsf, hide the external link

Question

I want to make a simple link to an external page in JSF. I have this code:

<h:outputLink value ="http://www.google.com.co/" >
<h:outputText value="¿No puede acceder a su cuenta?" />
</h:outputLink>

But the result is :

¿No puede acceder a su cuenta?
(www.google.com.co)

I dont want that my target (www.google.com.co) appears in the link... First: Is this the way to do it? Second: How can I hide the target of the link?

Thanks!

One idea is, instead of linking to an URL, the link is a JavaScript function with an encoded parameter, which then replaces the current page with the decoded URL, or opens it in a new page.

In context to the above code, you can use the code I've written below:

<h:outputLink value="destinationPage.xhtml">¿No puede acceder a su cuenta?</h:outputLink>
