I would....
1. find the position of the next occurence of "<a " using findnocase()
with a start pos of the pos you're interested in.
2. find the pos of the next occurence of "</a>" using findnocase()
with same start pos as above.
If #2 LT #1, your start pos is in a link. No regex required.
Furthermore, I couldn't think of a regex that would be foolproof
anyway.
CF and regex is not great at NOT finding words.
