The getFeatureInfo functionality is an example of an "identify" tool. I'm not sure that it will get you exactly what you want (open a new page) but it may get you close enough. It will display attribute data from your canoe trip layer, and from that you could link to a page. In your mapserver map file you need to define a TEMPLATE for your canoe trip layer. The template is a separate HTML file like: Name of trip: [NAME]<br> Date: [DATE]<br> Link: <a>href="[HREF]">Click to see my pictures</> where NAME, DATE, and HREF are columns in your shapefile (or whatever format your canoe trip data is in). Mapserver will substitute in the correct values for the [parameters]. The user clicks on a line segment and the attribute data gets put into the div.
