The technical way is to create an HTML Frame using the tag, where the target web page will appear as a component of your page. But the legalities and ethics of it are another story altogether. In fact the whole issue of the legality of hyperlinking is in court (in Canada) at the moment.

Hyperlinking is one thing, presenting an external page as a frame (i.e. with own site menu) another thing, and embedding elements from another site, different case too.

Hyperlinking is the essence of the Internet. If that goes to court, the Internet is self-negated. Imagine a neural network without neural synapses—zilch.
