Idea #1: Via a numeric prefix. Perhaps all of the links could be
numbered, like the Conkeror browser does, for ease of identification.
Idea #2: Add a command that highlights successive links on repeated
invocation, and another command that activates the currently highlighted
link.
I like idea #2 better. Looks like I've assigned myself a little
project.
