After realising that i basically only need html as it uses <script> I tried installing a hack to allow only admins to post html but it doesnt seem to like it still as the code i posted above shows as blank.

The bb code thing sounds interesting but wouldnt that mean that you would still only get a hardcoded link to the product page. my reason for doing this is to utilise a special amazon.com associates feature that creates an image based button which pops up a special amazon window which has built in cart functionality.
