Is there a feature that clicks a link when it appears on a page?

I currently use the c4c feature to notify me when link appears on a web page, but now I am looking for a feature that would automatically click that link when it appears. Is there one?

Some people use the Greasemonkey add-on for this kind of task. Greasemonkey can run scripts on a page after it loads, and also can be programmed to watch for changes in the page.

Well... I guess I should have stated that I am not very familiar with scripts and such. My line of work deals with checking out work as it posts to a website. It is a first come, first serve basis. I currently utilize the check for change function to detect when work has posted, but I am not always sitting by the computer. So, I was wondering how I could get my computer to automatically click the link for me??? Any ideas?

I'm sure there are tools out there, but haven't used any of them myself.
