Oh, I see... it doesn't create an anchor tag at all, but it prints the
title as part of your image.  NOGTITLE is what I was assuming was default,
due to my lack of GPLOT knowledge :)

I suppose that you could just do it this way, then:

data test; set sashelp.air;
run;

ods csv file="c:\temp\testout.csv" style=minimal;
proc print data=test;
run;

ods csv close;

ods html body="c:\temp\Air_plot.html" nogtitle;
goptions device=gif altdesc;
title1 underlin=1 h=2.4 color=blue '<a href="c:\temp\testout.csv"
title="Link to Data">Open Data
Set</a>'; /*Link to CSV file */
proc gplot data=test;
 plot air*date/ description="Plot of Air vs. Date";
run;
ods html close;
quit;

You probably also could leave it in the graphic (and use the same
workaround), though that wouldn't be as accessible particularly to (audio)
readers.
