Browser Actions › Actions › Click Link (β)

Clicks a link, i.e. an <a href /> DOM element.

Parameters

Browser

The browser to work with.

Selecting "frontmost browser" will only work if the application currently in the foreground is a supported browser.

Only available if Target tab isn’t set to "specific tab".

Type: Browser

Target tab

Specify which tab you want to work with. The option "active tab of frontmost window" will target the currently active tab at the time this action is executed, while "specific tab" will let you target an existing browser tab.

Options:

  • active tab of frontmost window
  • specific tab

Specific browser tab

If Target tab is set to "specific tab", this parameter expects a browser tab reference.

Type: Browser Tab

When the desired link is looked up by matching Link text against the link's text label, should the comparison be strict (upper-/lowercase and leading/trailing whitespace matter)? Or should a link be considered "the one" if its text label contains the link text (e.g., a link text "board" would match a link labelled "Dashboard")?

Options:

  • whose label is exactly
  • whose label contains

Link text

When looking up links, this is the text the link labels will be matched against by the rule selected in Match link.

Type: Text

Pause after clicking

  • 1.5 secs
  • 2.0 secs
  • 2.5 secs
  • 3.0 secs
