ELinks does not support document.write, so JavaScript code cannot generate links as HTML. There was an attempt to implement this in 0.12.GIT; the part that captures the written HTML to a string is still there, but the part that parses the HTML from the string was reverted in commit 2c087e52e74528a720621186b91880463e039d50 on 2006-02-12. If you just want to scan the generated links, I think it wouldn't be terribly hard to change ELinks to save the written HTML to a file that a separate program could then parse. This of course does not help if the written HTML tries to run more scripts. The DOM might be another way to make links programmatically, but ELinks does not yet support it either. (I believe 0.12.GIT has some experimental code for setting up a DOM, but none for letting JavaScript access it.) Support for ECMAScript/JavaScript in web pages is an experimental feature and will be disabled by default in ELinks 0.12.0.
