Click at link by address template

Question

Hello, I'm using Selenium for making some work: script should click at link followed by it's own address. For example, there is a method: clickAndWait. I have to pass it link title. But at my page this title changes, so I have to pass address to click at.

Could you help me with this?

p.s. I asked this question in selenium group, but still have no answer.

upd: For exampe, I have such html-code:

<a href="lalala.com">Some changeable title</a>
<a href="another.com">Some changeable title</a>

And selenium pseudocode:

ClickAndWait('Some changeable title')

But I have to click at site 'another.com', not 'lalala.com'. And link's title changes every time. Only link address is the same.

You could use one of the following locators:

//use XPath to match links with full href value
selenium.clickAndWait("//a[@href='another.com']");

//use XPath to match links with href values that start with string
selenium.clickAndWait("//a[starts-with(@href,'another.com')]"); //use partial href value

//use XPath to match links with href values that contain string
selenium.clickAndWait("//a[contains(@href,'another.com')]"); //use partial href value
