Hyperlink in item two of accordion

Drupal - 6 x 1.7
I am trying to link an item that happens to fall within my first two items in the accordion...so every time I click the hyperlink it instead "unfolds" the accordion. The item is a speaker's bio so I don't want to have all that copy on the page. I like the format as is with the node-body moved to be the second item after title because, for our meetings, attendees will first want to see how successful/qualified that speaker is and then they will click the accordion to see what his session title, time and description are for that meeting...

Is there a way to successfully hyperlink an item in the node-body when it happens to be the "clickable" portion of the accordion to make it unfold? The hyperlinks themselves are in place - it just seems that the need to unfold the accordion overrides the system's ability to recognize and open a hyperlink.
