This may be a silly question, but if I only have access to edit a website through a CMS, and can't touch the headers, is there a way to redirect the page without prompting the user to click a link?

Depends what is the objective.

If it is a permanent, it is better creating a .htaccess file with

Redirect /what some.tld/where

You can use JavaScript to redirect them with code in the <body> of the page. It won't be a 301 redirect, however, as you can only do that with HTTP headers.

<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "http://www.example.com/"
</script>
