having a hyperlink redirect or submit to a new controller

[eluser]chubbypama[/eluser]
hi. just new to mvc.
wondering what's the mvc way / codeigniter way to do the following:
i have a list thats being returned from the database... let's call it a widget list.
So i have a controller called Widgets and the index method just returns a list.
i'm building a table with the details.
i want to build it so that if the user clicks on the widget name in the list, it will take them to a new page that shows the details of the widget.

I have another controller called Widget and a method called details().
the question is should i make the table items individual forms, or do i just do an anchor tag? if i do an anchor, how do i pass the value of the widget name to the new controller?
right now i have something like this:

<a href="&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;index.php/Widget/details/$viewbag['id']">

and it does redirect.. but this a good way to accomplish this task?

thanks
