If you have a function or a variable inside an Object you have to use a . to access it. So in your case it should be :

var Section = function() {

    this.Test = function() {
        // Do something
    };
}

And in your HTML:

<a href="#" onclick="new Section().Test()"/>

You can call the javascript inside the href or inside the onClick attributes, like so:

<a href="javascript:var section = new Section(); section.Test();">

or

<a href="#" onClick="var section = new Section(); section.Test();">

Hope it helps, good luck!
