ASP.NET DataGrid: how to open a new window with binded data

I have a DataGrid. Here is the server side:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
PeopleGrid.DataSource = peopleList;
//PeopleGrid.Columns[1].Visible = false;
PeopleGrid.DataBind();
}
}

and the client side:

<asp:DataGrid ID="PeopleGrid" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:HyperLinkColumn
HeaderText="Select a Person"
DataNavigateUrlField="Name"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Details.aspx?id={0}e.Item.Cells[1].Text"
DataTextField="Name"
Target="_blank"
/>
</Columns>

</asp:DataGrid>

I need to:

(1) make all columns invisible except for the first column that is a list of hyperlinks.
(2) if a hyperlink is clicked, open a new window that contains details on the item clicked. Below is a page that should be displayed:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Details.aspx.cs" Inherits="PeopleInfo.Details" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Name" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID="Address" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID="Email" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thank you.
