Performing actions on a series of links

OK, perhaps this is out of the scope of Automator's capabilities and more suited to a shell script of some sort, but here is what I want to do. I have a single web page that contains a list of hyperlinks. Specifying that as the input, I want Automator to perform this action with EACH link in the list:

1) Open the link 2) Look for a URL that matches some criteria in the resulting page 3) Append that URL (if found) to a file of some sort. Otherwise, just leave the page.

This will build a list of links, fewer in number, that is of direct usability to me.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
