You can place <form> tags around the anchors and use hidden tags and send via post so the variable is not obvious. A user reading the source would see this though...
echo "<form name=\"form1\" action=\"https://this.site.com/somePage.php\"; method=\"post\">\n"; echo "<a onClick=\"this.form.submit();\">SomeLinkText</a>\n"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"variable\" value=\"".$value."\">\n"; echo "</form>\n"; I'm not sure off the top of my head if the anchor tag must have any other description. You might be able to use onChange instead of onClick to include selection by using the keyboard, but I'm not sure if the anchor tag responds to onChange. You'd have to try it out.
