ASP.NET MVC does not prevent you from adding a typical ASHX handler. For example here's what I did:

1. Take a new/existing ASP.NET MVC project
2. Right click the project node and select Add -> New -> Generic Handler
3. Name the handler "HandleMe.ashx"
4. Write code in HandleMe.ashx.cs according to what I need the handler to do
5. Run the project and access the handler URL (in my case http://localhost:2951/HandleMe.ashx) and all is good.

For the link you just need to set it to

<a href="/HandleMe.ashx">click me</a>
