I have tried reading the docs on HTML link parser and as far as I understand it, this piece needs to be extended to support matching URLs on their *name* as opposed to their *link*. There was a post a few days ago which mentioned the need to do exactly the same. Here is the relevant snippet from his posting -
============= snippet ===================== Another problem is that when URL are dynamic, I would like to match the name of the link, not the url. Example: <a href="toto/titi?var=57457">Here are my examples</a>. I want to put in the path: "Here are my examples" and not "toto/titi?var=57457" which can change between 2 sessions. ========== end snippet ==================== Can somebody give me suggestions on how I would go about making these changes to JMeter?

To do so, you will need to use the Modification Manager along with the HTML Link Parser. Check the docs on it and try it.
