Javascript in formula field

Hello All,

I want to know how to write Javascript in formula field. 
Something similar to this blog: https://sfdc-gyaan.rhcloud.com/2014/04/referencing-javascript-file-from-static-resources-in-formula-fields/

I have a formula field. When clicked on it, I want to perform an action using JS.
HYPERLINK("javascript:alert('Hello World! - Formula Field');var html_doc = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];var js = document.createElement('script');js.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');js.setAttribute('src','/resource/********/HelloJS');html_doc.appendChild(js);js.onload= function() { sayHelloFromAnotherJS(); }; ","_self")

And then, I get this error:

Error: Incorrect argument value for function 'HYPERLINK()'. Javascript is not allowed.
Can anyone help me here?
