A couple of things:
1) the event.target is always a pointer to the element that spawned the
event. In this case, the actual element at the top of click event bubble -
the div.
2) if you want a pointer to the link you added the event to, guess what, you
already have one.
var link = $('link');
link.addEvent('click', function(){ $("debug").innerHTML = link.get('id');
});
