You could try putting the alternate link into an iFrame.

Hi ,

Thank you for your reply .
But i need the user to view an uploaded word/excel file like the way
it is in google docs .?
That is if i upload a file i need to view/edit just like opening word
document.

Regards,
Francis P.

 Yeah, basically you just point to the document you uploaded. Like <iframe src='http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=yourdocIDhere&hl=en'/>

So after you've uploaded your document, you could get its resource ID via the API, and then build the iframe to point to the document link.

We do something like this in our app, where we provider our users a
link to open Office document files in Google Docs. Unfortunately, this
means that each time a user clicks this link, we're uploading the doc
to Google Docs, which creates a new copy of it in their docs list.
Ideally we'd like to be able to upload the doc as an "unsaved draft",
so that it wouldn't exist in their docs list until/unless they saved
it. This feature is actually available in GMail, where you can
open .doc, .xls, and .ppt attachments in Google Docs, and they're
opened in this draft mode. It would be great if that capability were
exposed in the Documents List API. I submitted an enhancement request
for it, if you're interested in seeing this capability added, star it
and maybe it will get some attention:
