The above JQuery code successfully worked for me. Note that the example is linking to the CSS class, you could change this to the ID to be more specific.

You’ll need to insert this into a JS file somewhere, and take into consideration the no-conflict mode of the JQuery included with WordPress (see http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#jQuery_noConflict_wrappers for details ).
You’ll probably be wanting to link it to a button/link of some kind, so you’ll probably need to add some html to the template to link to. You could also create the button using JQuery too.
