Hello Ed,
Assuming you're ultimately interested in the URLs only, perhaps could you avoid UI scripting entirely with some bits of JavaScript. Here follows a very rough example:
on CountLinks()
tell document 1 of application "Safari" to do JavaScript "document.links.length"
end CountLinks
on GetLinkHref(L)
tell document 1 of application "Safari" to do JavaScript "document.links[" & L & "].href"
end GetLinkHref
repeat with I from 1 to CountLinks()
set thisHref to GetLinkHref(I)
-- do something wit thisHref
end repeat
Of course, depending of your needs, this may be either plain irrelevant or subject to many variants/optimizations.
HTH,
Axel
