As per the example given here
I ran the demo and now in this html I have done some changes in the following portions:

old portions:
~~

<tr>
                <td>Garrett Winters</td>
                <td>Accountant</td>
                <td>Tokyo</td>
                <td>63</td>
                <td>2011/07/25</td>
                <td>$170,750</td>
</tr>

.........

<tr>
                <td>Airi Satou</td>
                <td>Accountant</td>
                <td>Tokyo</td>
                <td>33</td>
                <td>2008/11/28</td>
                <td>$162,700</td>
</tr>

.........

columnDefs: [
            {
                searchPanes: {
                    preSelect: ["Accountant", "19"]
                },
                targets: [1,2,3]
            }
        ]

Output:

I want to know how I can preselect that row with hyperlink?

It needs the original string, trimmed of spaces included - see example here. Not the most obvious, but it does the trick,
