well i imagine the point would be to use a hardcoded url as the link , the onmousedown simply replaces the real url with the atx trade script url
example
href="http://www.yahoo.com" title="%%tit_001%%" onMouseDown="this.href='/cgi-bin/atx/out.cgi?id=%%tid_001%%&tag=toplist&trade=%%url_001 %%'; return false;">%%tit_001%%</A>
%%clk_001%%
this would give you one backlink to yahoo , nobody but google will ever see the link to yahoo though or be able to visit the link, as soon as they click it they get sent to the trade url
either way though it would be against google's rules, not that it matters much but
even if you kept the code the way you have it for code#2 the benefit is part of the way google judges the relevence of your site is by who you link to and if they are also relevent , by using the trade script url google wont see those outbound links as anything relevent , wheras using the trade scripts real url as hardlink will, even if you are leaking some pr
