MSI doesn't support custom controls so a CA wouldn't do the trick.

I don't think anyone would recommend it at all. It's possible to use a 
CA to show UI but only as a modal dialog that's present at the same time 
as the previous dialog. It's a poor user experience because they were 
using a wizard and now you're mixing in a modal dialog that's pretending 
it's a wizard page.

If the link is that important, you should instead consider an external 
UI handler for the entire UI.
