I'd probably rather use Selenium/WebDriver tests here.

How can you possibly use a Hyperlink (widget) in a CellTable?!
You might want to handle the "click" event from within your cell and call 
History.newItem() or PlaceController#goTo() from there (still not 
testable), or use a callback (similar to ButtonCell, ActionCell, or 
ClickableTextCell) where you put the History/PlaceController stuff, or 
route it through the Presenter.

Don't do that, if you ever write tests with a mock view, it'll be a pain to 
mock.
