The problem with a hyperlink is that you can only select one item on the list screen before jumping to the detail screen, whereas with a navigation button you can select as many items as you like.

Another problem is that it uses the GET method which exposes the primary key to the outside world, which some people consider to be a security risk. This is also a problem if the hyperlink jumps to a screen which updates the database.

There are also other reasons described in http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/infrastructure-faq.html #faq28

The short answer is that if you want to navigate to another screen then use a navigation button as it presents less of a security risk than a hyperlink.
