Minimal User Interaction with Links

Hello list,

Is it possible to execute or save a file by just clicking on a link?

I might be missing something over here, here is a sample eicar test string http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com

As soon as I click on it, my AV gives me the message about the detection at "%temp%\ NcsWJCau.com.part" and the page also gives me an option to save the file. Doesn't this mean that the file is being stored in the temp directory without user interaction?
