`$('a[href*="domain.com/example"]').click()` or in a most specific way you could use it like `$('a[href$="domain.com/example"]').click()` — Rajaprabhu Aravindasamy, Sep 10 '15 at 13:53

You will need to add a specific class name or id to the href that you want to bind the action to.

For example:

<a id="this_is_the_one" href="http://www.domain.com/example" target="_blank"> click here </a>

and then your js:

$('#this_is_the_one').on("click", function(variable) {}
