Forcing a Button Click in Rise

Here's a potential alternative: 

Put the website link in Storyline. Also give the button with the link a "Complete course" trigger. Then use it in a Storyline block. That will force the user to click the button with the link before they can continue in Rise. 

Of course, there's still no way to force them to look at the linked website...
