jquery open anchor link from function

Say I have an anchor link like: 

<a id="page-contact" rel="shadowbox;width=640;height=400" href="/contact.php">link here</a>

How would I be able to open it from jquery i.e.

jQuery('#page-contact').click();

Obviously that calls the .click event but doesn't do the href if that makes sense.

The object of this is to actually open a lightbox not to change the page like window.location

    I've done this and it works! :-)

    Shadowbox.open({
        content:    '/content.php',
        type:     'iframe',
        title:      'Tags',
        height:350,
        width:450
    });
