Thanks for that.
How is it possible to click a particular link in a webpage? Or How
to get the weblinks in a page and filter them, so that I can click
it from the script and open that page.
Using Applescript and System Events, I am able to generate key
strokes and click for the objects (like buttons etc). But I am not
able to click a weblink in a web page.
Yes you are... if you are using Safari.
Check the "advanced" pane in Safari and click in the "Press tab to
highlight..." check button.
Now just click on tab and the focus goes to buttons, fields and links.
I am able to do it from automator, but I am looking for the same in
AppleScript.

This works for me.
tell application "Safari"
activate
open location "http://mail.yahoo.com";
delay 5
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "username" & tab &
"password" & return
end tell
This is a good answer Alan!
The delay may need to be adjusted depending on the loading speed of
the site you go to.
In some cases you can wait until the name of the window has changed
set before proceeding.
repeat until the name of window 1 is "foo"
delay 1
end
True . . .but the script also will need adjusting to allow if the
particular web site being logged into doesn't automatically select
the username field. Some do. . . some don't.
That should be fairly easy to script, in most cases web sites are
fairly consistent. Once the page is open you may need to script a
couple tabs to get to your desired field.
There's also a security issue with having passwords in a
script . . .
I use a property, which has to be set the first time it's run, then
remembers it from subsequent run and is invisible to prying eyes.
property myPass :""
if myPass = "" then
--insert routine getting password from user
