If you were just trying to track if the message was displayed I would say use 
an IMG tag instead of the A tag, that would allow your web server to get the 
request each time the IMG tag is displayed without a web browser being opened. 
Of course this would not work if the email client is configured to not display 
images or receive in plain text.

I don’t think the IMG tag approach would work properly for a 'click here to 
confirm/agree' button.
I think you will need to link to an actual page using an A tag for that button 
to respond to a click event.

You could include JavaScript in the HTML response that 4D sends back to close 
the window,
For example, make sure that 
http://10.0.0.8:8080/confirm?539D36962A0A45478F0538EE894A4D5358CBB76FAED59F44B32DEEA97B22F3B4
 returns HTML that runs window.close on load.
But this will still open the web browser, and if the web browser has JavaScript 
disabled then the window would not close.
