It is easy.

When you click on an element, the actual click could be on a child element, but
if there are onclick observers they will "bubble up" to each parent that has
one.
If you want to always get the link then there are a couple of ways that spring
to mind. You can use up() or you can use a closure.
Using up():
$$('a.amiabug').each(function (o) {
Event.observe(o, 'click',foobar)
});
function foobar (e) {
Event.stop(e);
alert(Event.element(el).up('a.amiabug').inspect());
}
Using a closure:
$$('a.amiabug').each(function (o) {
Event.observe(o, 'click', function() {
Event.stop(e);
alert(o.inspect());
});
));
I prefer the closure since it's shorter and you don't have to find the element
again.
