Find and activate link on Webpage

Hi,

I made this script to help someone who wanted to find and open a link on a webpage based on a search value.

Thought it might be of value to others.

Cheers

This is great. I can’t think of an immediate need on my end, but I feel like I’ve needed something like this before. I appreciate it!

Thanks.

After creating it I realised I could use a slightly modified version for some web scraping tasks I get involved in for my work.
