When you click a link within a webpage, you start to download the object which the link is pointing at. depending on how the internet-server is setup to deal with the file type, it might send it streaming or as an executable.
Since this link is an executable file, it's most likely to be send as one. The viewers browser will have the option to handle this stream any way it can, that be to ask if they want to save the file or open/run it
once it's finished downloading. You have no way from the server side (or html part) to inflict this final action from the user, it is entirely upto them, how they configured their browser or how they decide to recieve the transfer.

How do I fool the system, into thinking that I’m doing double-clicking action from the graphic, when I’m really doing a single-click?

There is
no way of doing this in html. The viewers system will deal with the link source any way they configured their system.
