Wordpress: link to a secondary plugin page

Question

I'm developing a Wordpress plugin and so far made main plugin administration page linked from admin menu (my_plugin_main.php). Here I have a grid with a list of "products".

I want to add a link to the grid footer to "my_plugin_edit_product.php" but I don't know how to do it, if I link

wp-admin/admin.php?page=my_plugin_main/my_plugin_edit_product.php

or

wp-admin/admin.php?page=my_plugin_edit_product

I get an access error.

How can I link a secondary plugin page from the main one? (I need all Wordpress functionallity and admin menu to be present in this page too)

Thank you

You can Load it by Ajax with JQuery ( which is included in WP ) in your first plugin page.

(function($) {
  $(function() {
    $('a.yourlink').click(function() {
        $(this).next('#yourdiv').load('yourpage.php', { href: this.href });
        return false;
    });
  });
})(jQuery);

Or you have to register it by using "add_menu_page" : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_menu_page

But i will be accessible from the left menu of the admin page.
